What a loss, not to hear from the Iron Butterfly again.
Now tell me again why the liberals hated her. LOL! I have that
Picture of her and Ronald Reagan at Camp David on my fridge.

From the Hayek center the following:

John Ranelagh writes of Margaret Thatcher's remark at a Conservative Party policy meeting in the late 1970's, "Another colleague had also prepared a paper arguing that the middle way was the pragmatic path for the Conservative party to take .. Before he had finished speaking to his paper, the new Party Leader [Margaret Thatcher] reached into her briefcase and took out a book. It was Friedrich von Hayek's The Constitution of Liberty. Interrupting [the speaker], she held the book up for all of us to see. 'This', she said sternly, 'is what we believe', and banged Hayek down on the table." (John Ranelagh, Thatcher's People: An Insider's Account of the Politics, the Power, and the Personalities. London: HarperCollins, 1991.)
