    He died at his home in California.
    The White House was told his health had taken a turn for the worse in the last
    several days.
    Reagan was dogged by revelations that he authorized secret arms sales to Iran
    while seeking Iranian aid to gain release of American hostages held in Lebanon.
    Some of the money was used to aid rebels fighting the democratic government
    of Nicaragua.

    Congress and President Bush have so far provided $119.4 billion for the war in Iraq. Here are examples of what else that money could buy. It could send 748,495 people, nearly everyone in Jacksonville, Fla., to Harvard University for four years. Based on Harvard’s 2004-05 school year costing $39,880 for tuition, fees, room and board, multiplied by four.

    A portion of this conjecture appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, May 29, and remained among the ‘five top stories viewed online’ over the weekend. Here is the original text, plus amendments. The content is largely drawn from the collaborative act of detective work unfolding on the web.
