Yuri ranks her with Catherine the Great. Igor would like to paint her, naked. They, unlike others they could mention, have kept the faith. Iron Lady: the Thatcherite Party of Russia salutes you (and wonders if you fancy a night ou?)
Article Abstract:
The Thatcherite Party of Russia was launched at a public meeting in St Petersburg, Russia, in Mar 1999. Its members have become disaffected with Communism and greatly admire former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She is apparently indifferent towards them, which is a cause of great sorrow to them. Her attitude towards them may the result of their association with Sir Alfred Sherman, a former Communist with whom she came into conflict in the 1980s. Most of the party members seem to have seized upon Thatcher as a symbol of dissent without really being aware of all the details of her career.

Walk this way
Article Abstract:
Showbusiness lawyer Ron Major does not feel that there is any logical explanation why he suddenly came up with the idea to construct a 100-mt walkway just under the water of the Sea of Galilee at Capernaum, where Christ walked on the water of the Sea of Galilee. This walkway, in the form of a submerged hydraulic platform, will from Aug 1999 allow visitors to emulate what Christ did almost 2,000 years ago. The project has been approved by the Israeli authorities, and work is due to begin in May 1999.
