...headmistress of a girls' school in Saddam City, a poor Shi'ite suburb of Baghdad, is equally reticent. During the rebellion, soldiers cordoned off the neighborhood for three days and searched every house for weapons, killing 200 people in the process, according to a source close to the Iraqi army. Today all is quiet in the rubbish-strewn streets, but the memory lingers. "Go away," the headmistress entreats when asked simply to comment on daily life in Iraq. "It is dangerous for us and dangerous for the school...

...dispirited Labor strategists, the theme of "Headmistress" Thatcher bullying her colleagues was a heaven-sent chance to go briefly on the offensive. Within hours, Labor was making the Prime Minister herself a campaign issue, repackaging the toughness that made her the "resolute" leader in the Falklands war into domineering bossiness. The Tory Cabinet, Healey argued, consists of "neutered zombies," and Thatcher would be "intolerable" if she won big. The S.D.P.'s Jenkins put it more starkly. Five more years of Thatcher "still cocooned in her own self-righteousness," he warned, would divide the country. "The revulsion would be such...
