I had always been interested in American think tanks. I had two opportunities to get to know them in my early years as a journalist.
One of them, the Heritage Foundation, has been so much in the news in the just concluded US elections that I thought I should say something about the organisation.
Then, I started to read about the Heritage Foundation. This was during the Ronald Reagan years. There were stories quoting policies linked to the conservative think tank. They arranged for me to interview a range of people, from research workers to lobbyists at Capitol Hill to the librarians. On the last day, they set up a meeting with the Vice-President.My impression then was that Heritage was strong on foreign policy. It developed, articulated, and supported anti-communist policies that Reagan used rather successfully. The US supported—anti-communist insurgencies all over the world.
