Margaret Thatcher died. She was 87. The former British prime minister was lauded for championing the free market, helping to end the cold war, standing up to terrorists, being a good friend to America, and many other things. Her critics derided her as a divisive figure who was callous towards those who lost out in Britain's industrial makeover. In 1989, the year before she was ousted from power by her own party, she mused that "I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end."
