Given
their way, some conservatives would jump at any chance to round out
South Dakota’s iconic Mt. Rushmore with the 40th president, Ronald
Reagan. Congress rejected the idea 12 years ago, but the monument’s 70th
birthday this week is a reminder that the tribute to Washington,
Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt is incomplete with or without another
face. The sculptor died before finishing Washington’s waist and coat,
and Lincoln’s hands.
