Hitler certainly changed the 20th century more than anyone _I_ can
think of. Wilson deserves a spot moreso than Rabin, Reagan, Lennon,
Preasly, well, anyone but Churchill.
My top 20 list? Churchill, Lloyd George, Hilter, Freidman, Nixon, Ho,
Mao, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Wilson, Thatcher (?), Eisenhower, Wilhelm
II, Weimar, Castro, Reagan, Steinbeck(?), TR, FDR, and Truman, but not
in that order. Maybe TR makes the 20 _coolest_ people of the century,
not the most important.
