...weeks before it happened, I ran into BJ in a supermarket and he said he was getting a big research grant and that he was getting along wonderfully. I don't know who would give him a grant, but he seemed composed and happy," says Cantor...
Thatcher drew large crowds during her sightseeing expeditions, including visits to an apartment complex in suburban Krylatskoye and a well-stocked supermarket, where the PM purchased a can of herring-like fish fillets called pilchards.
