...Foot sometimes seemed like a rambling evangelical, Thatcher appeared to be on an endless emotional high, dynamic, aggressive, thoroughly in command of her facts. Herash-brown hair remained carefully coiffed on all but the windiest of days, and her softly tailored suits and dresses (usually in Tory blue) rarely showed a wrinkle. Always a good speechmaker, she sharpened her delivery during the campaign by using an electronic prompting device, something relatively new to British politics and dubbed the "sincerity box" by the press.

The Labor Party leader looked and acted on the stump like an absent-minded professor: white hair often mussed, head bobbing right and left, tweed suits rumpled.

...current clash over the ban isn't just about democracy. It is also a reflection of class struggle between the old élite (the "White Turks") and a new ruling class.

...team success: chemistry. Kicking back in the players' lounge at the team's Waltham, Mass., training facility, Allen, Garnett and Pierce are loose, introspective and quick to pounce. Garnett calls Allen stubborn, and Allen predicts that if Pierce doesn't shave his head, he'll grow George Jefferson hair. The trio's personal history helps. Garnett and Allen were Olympic teammates in 2000 and have known each other since their South Carolina schoolboy days; Garnett and Pierce played as teens for the same Amateur Athletic Union team...
