Britain and admirers worldwide are mourning Margaret Thatcher, who has died
aged 87, as the "Iron Lady" who rolled back the state and faced down
her enemies during 11 years as Britain's first woman prime minister.
Her impact
on the 1980s was such that opponents, including Labour's Tony Blair and Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev, led tributes to a legacy that radically transformed
the British economy along free-market lines now widely taken for granted and
includes her role in the peaceful end to the Cold War.
