Just one minor disagreement: "détante", if it's intended to mean a relaxing of tensions, is spelled "détente". Otherwise it might be interpreted as getting rid of an aunt, which is the "tante" part. Regardless, it is true that the French pronounce it much as if it was spelled "détante".
I met Ronald and Nancy Reagan just over 40 years ago. I was 11 years old and in awe of him; he was very funny, answered my thousands of questions and was incredibly nice to me. This was excellent and perfectly written about my hero.
