Coca-Cola has not lost its fizz either. In December the company signed teen heartthrob George Michael for a diet Coke commercial, to begin this week, which features music from a previously unreleased single (his fee: a reported $4 million).

In 1987 alone, the Government closed 17 insolvent S and Ls and paid stronger institutions to take over 31 more. The total cost to FSLIC: nearly $4 billion.

The previous record holder was Herbert Asquith, who occupied 10 Downing Street from 1908 to 1916. The achievement so pleased Thatcher, 62, that she postponed a trip to Africa to toast the occasion with her husband Denis. The Prime Minister has often dropped hints that she is prepared to "go on and on," raising speculation...
