Talk:Richard Perle

Prince of Darkness redux
Thanks to Lambiam for randomly bringing me here. The talk page archives give some indication as to the how and why Perle acquired this nickname, but as a reader, its presence in the article without the accompanying descriptions leave me wanting to know more. I don't know the answer, but it looks like he acquired the name from being associated with SDI? Strangely, he isn't mentioned in that article. Viriditas (talk) 23:37, 26 October 2023 (UTC)


 * There are a score of explanations to be found, but a fair majority ascribes the moniker to Perle's hardline opposition to arms control agreements. --Lambiam 17:03, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
