Annotation

In the middle 1980's at the height of the cold war, American president Ronald Reagan famously described the Soviet Russian-headed Warsaw Pact of nations as "the Evil Empire". Some unkind speculators wondered if the title had been provoked by Ronnie's latest viewing of "Star Wars", or by his flirtation with evangelical Christianity in which godless Communism was always equated with the Antichrist. Admittedly Communism actually was really bad.
