It reminds me of the week of mourning that came after Ronald Reagan’s death. For some, it seemed blasphemous to remember him as anything but a saint. But we do not need to forget how the president stifled scientific research or how he let the AIDS epidemic grow out of control; that’s as much a part of his legacy as anything else. If I noted his failings in the wake of his death, does that mean I did not feel for his family? That it didn’t tug at my heartstrings when his wife Nancy cried over his casket? No. I felt that.
