...Thatcher, who is in poor health, is sadly unable to contribute to the discussion of her legacy. But the questions are of more than academic interest. In the sheer scope of her ambition - including her determination to reset national priorities and change a national discourse, roll back the state, reward enterprise and challenge what she believed was a dangerously accommodationist attitude to Soviet power - the Thatcher enterprise has obvious parallels to that of Barack Obama, even if their ideological trajectories differ. So what lessons might the U.S. President draw from one of the most successful politicians of modern times...

That trend is being reinforced as China implements economic stimulus measures that in practice boost state-owned giants while private companies are left largely to fend...
...second-place school, Johns Hopkins, at 81. Jules L. Dienstag, Dean for Medical Education, said that she was proud but took the rankings with a grain of salt. “While we are heartened by this news, we do not believe that such ranking systems capture the full scope of the student experience,” she said. “Like all our peers, we are constantly striving to improve and augment educational and research opportunities in order to better fulfill our mission.” The medical school came in 15th in primary care.
