...ideologies that have long divided Britain. The opposition Labour Party of Neil Kinnock, the Welsh laborer's son, has struggled to shed the albatross of radical socialism. Now the ruling Conservatives of Prime Minister John Major, the school dropout, are patching up the social safety nets scorned by Margaret Thatcher's survivalism of the fittest. With much less to choose between the two main parties, chances are good that neither will end up with a House of Commons majority...
Britain's stubborn recession was induced in part by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's tax cuts of 1987, the ensuing rise in inflation to 11% and the stiff interest-rate hikes Thatcher then used to force prices down.

She should be on talk shows, talking to Geraldo." She probably will...
...idea that CNN ought to be more analytic and instructive is not universally held among government and business leaders either. Many like the network just as it is. Sir Bernard Ingham used to be the combative press secretary to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, herself so big a fan of CNN that the network has made special arrangements for her to get it at ( her office. Says Ingham: "I don't think we want analysis. What we want is reporting of the facts. People can form their own judgments. There are too damn many journalists analyzing the news...
