I Think Psychologically [margaret Thatcher] Is Really Worth Studying. I Am Reading Charles Moore's Biography Of Her, And He Has Gotten Us Right There With A Woman Who Lived The Unexamined Life, And Lived It Deliberately, And Who Has Contempt For History, Even Her Own.

Beneath Every History, Another History.
