Ronald Reagan Is Dead The year was 1980, and Ronald Reagan, who died today at the age of 93, was seeking the GOP nomination for president. Fittingly, the Ronald Reagan Building on Pennsylvania Avenue, completed 10 years after Reagan left office, today houses 5,000 government employees and is the largest government building in Washington. Reagan can probably claim some credit for ending the Cold War, but his principal weapon, characteristically, was spending—the Soviets bankrupted themselves trying to keep up with the Pentagon's weapons-buying binge through the 1980s. www.francesfarmersrevenge.com /stuff/archive/oldnews5/ronaldreagan.htm   (1570 words)

Framed on the east by the graceful hemicycle of the existing Ariel Rios Building, by the arced front of the Wilson Center and by the restaurant pavilion, it is oddly shaped. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/local/longterm/library/dc/reagan/review.htm   (1382 words)
