THE ELECTION OF THE DECADE - Gene H Hogberg - September 1984

Gene H Hogberg

The outcome of the U.S. national elections this autumn will have great bearing on the future of the Western world. Europeans especially are watching. Will incumbent President Ronald Reagan- riding high in popularity polls- be returned to office? How strong a showing will his Democratic challenger make? Will the relationship between Congress and the occupant of the White House be improved, or, as in recent years, marked again by contention and often radically different viewpoints on key issues? Much is at stake, not just for the differing approaches to the Soviet Union. Many believe the Western alliance is nearing a crossroads, demanding decisive, corrective leadership on both sides of the Atlantic. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
