The Kremlin is not without sympathy for the miners' leader: last year, while visiting Moscow, Scargill noted that the threat to world peace came from that "most dangerous duo, President Ray-Gun and the plutonium blond, Margaret Thatcher."

In her own way, the blond, slim, plain-faced patrician was as fastidious and thrifty as any of her Puritan ancestors. Recruiting models, actresses, some housewives and students from escort service ads and personal contacts, Barrows conducted grueling interviews. Besides good looks, she insisted upon intelligence and, above all, "eloquence." The chosen few were rated...
