...Thatcher's triumphal moment is unlikely to last. Two parliamentary investigations have been ordered into the conduct of the Falklands war. The first will examine the handling of earlier negotiations with Argentina for the islands. Many Labor M.P.s have been claiming that the Thatcher government misread Argentina's intention to invade. The other investigation will focus on the British Defense Ministry's censorship of information from the South Atlantic. Other questions are bound to arise, including Britain's decision to prune its conventional navy in favor of a strategic, submarine-based nuclear strike force...

James Garfield, who won, was assassinated just months after Inauguration...
Like a monarch, that earlier Elizabeth perhaps, she has been making her triumphal progress up the East Coast, with waves of that wonderful applause echoing in her ears. Fort Lauderdale's Parker Playhouse, where the production began Feb. 27, was sold out for three weeks. Washington's Eisenhower Theater at the Kennedy Center has been booked for six weeks, and when the play opened there last Thursday, much of the Government, including President Reagan and Vice President Bush, were out front. There were three curtain calls, and Reagan and his wife Nancy went backstage to congratulate the cast...
