Headlines such as Time's "The Iron Lady Bows Out" are not particularly kind, but underneath the cliches of Thatcher's tough image, public opinion has been a little gentler. Thatcher received praise from almost every corner--from Ronald Reagan to even Neil Kinnock, the leader of the rival Labour Party...
...denser and more fixed: tiny imploded scenes, whose glow and atmospheric subtlety were much admired in their time but can hardly even be assessed now. For in pursuit of jewel-like effects and deep layering of color, Ryder painted "lean over fat," so that slower-drying strata of paint underneath pulled the quicker-drying surface apart. He would slosh abominable messes of varnish on the surface, and pile up the pigment by incessant retouching until the images became quaking pitch lakes...
...museum art; it lent mellowness and venerability. Ryder's studio was filthy, a pack rat's cave. "It is appalling, this craze for clean-looking pictures," he once complained. "Nature isn't clean." To distinguish between the dirt, the dust, the brown varnish, the pigmented glazes and the goo underneath and then to stabilize the surface to preserve some notion of Ryder's intentions have always been a conservator's nightmare -- and a losing battle as well. One may be quite sure that whenever it takes place, the next Ryder retrospective will be even less visible than this...
Last year, Harvard ripped the Elis by running crossing routes underneath by backs, who beat one-on-one coverage by linebackers for big gains. Once the Elis reacted to those plays, Harvard QB Tim Perry beat Yale's over-reacting, inching-forward linebackers deep to tight end Kevin Collins.

...have learned from experience to say no to fashion. We're stuck with bras until a kinder form of support comes along. I liked long skirts because I could wear knee-high stockings underneath. And I simply refuse to wear hose in summer. So what if the oracles say I'm not properly dressed? I won't buy a catsuit this season, and I bet few other women will. While I refuse to trade in my pumps for Reeboks, I don't buy shoes with heels higher than an inch or two, and I still manage to have fashionable feet...
