...colleagues believe that the experience of being Prime Minister will temper her Iron Lady toughness. If nothing else, she will have to deal with several influential senior Tories who are determined to moderate her more radical views. "What will stop her behaving in a grandiose manner on the world stage is our economic situation," says one of them. But that is unlikely to prevent her from lecturing her counterparts in Western Europe. ("God help them," says one colleague.) Another potential Cabinet member sums her up: "She is a powerful lady, but manageable by her colleagues. They believe they can keep...
...matter. It seems to me a good guess, hazarded by a good many people who have thought of it, that we may be engaged in the formation of something like a mind for the life of this planet. If this is so, we are still at the most primitive stage, still fumbling with language and thinking, but infinitely capacitated for the future. Looked at this way, it is remarkable that we've come as far as we have in so short a period, really no time at all as geologists measure time. We are the newest, the youngest...

During a drum solo he may turn his back and raise his arms as if in supplication or approach a microphone as if to sing but content himself with making faces...
...place for a further growth of cable TV dwarfing anything yet seen. Technology is improving: the cost of an earth station to receive satellite signals is down from $100,000 in 1975 to as little as $12,000 today. Programming is becoming more diverse and imaginative. Indeed, the stage is set for a classic scrap for top industry positions, as befits a business in which technology, creative talent and entrepreneurial leadership open a new market...
