...British people have seen the sort of steady, noninflationary growth in prosperity that not so long ago seemed to be the birthright of Germans, French - of everyone, in fact, but Albion's hordes. You can say that Brown was lucky, because he inherited the impact of Margaret Thatcher's economic reforms - in particular, severely weakened trade unions and a deregulated labor market. But great leaders make their own luck. By establishing a stable macroeconomic policy framework, by maintaining tight control of public expenditure in the first Blair government, and by cutting free from political interference the Bank of England...
...PLEADED GUILTY. MARK THATCHER, 51, son of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, to charges of helping finance a foiled coup attempt in oil-rich Equatorial Guinea; in Cape Town, South Africa. Thatcher admitted that he inadvertently provided mercenaries with money for a helicopter, but said he believed it would be used as an air ambulance for humanitarian purposes.

As we think about it, does it create a space of equality simply to replicate the old pattern of the University being represented in imposing portraits? Put one or two women up there, does that solve the problem? It probably doesn’t. It identifies the problem...
...Thatcher mentions the addition of a “A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Harvard Women’s History,” a well-constructed pamphlet available through the Harvard Information Office and sponsored by the Radcliffe Institute, the Schlesinger Library and the Harvard University History Department, as a good primary step towards the public recognition of women’s history. The Quad, previously Radcliffe housing and the only undergraduate housing named after female alumnae, is a place where much could be done to bring to life the vivid history of Radcliffe College through photographs and artwork...
