"Human Events" was former U.S. President Ronald Reagan's "favorite reading for years," writes biographer Richard Reeves. A loyal subscriber since 1961, Reagan said it “helped me stop being a liberal Democrat,” calling it "must reading for conservatives who want to know what is really going on in Washington, D.C." Reagan contributed some articles to "Human Events" in the 1970s. During the 1980 presidential campaign, Democrats released a document entitled "Ronald Reagan, Extremist Collaborator — An Exposé," in which, according to biographer Lee Edwards, "mong the proofs of Reagan's extremism was that he read the conservative weekly "Human Events"." After being elected President, Reagan would occasionally write or call Winter or Ryskind.
