margaret thatcher is already in office. this is, of course, reagan and thatcher. it's modelled off the poster "gone with the wind" and i think it captures public assumptions about reagan and thatcher quite well. the tag line is, she promised to follow him to the end of the earth. he promised to organize it. and there are some subtle hints here that maybe are too small for you to read, but it really ties together thatcher and reagan as a new era in many senses, so not just in a defense buildup and the looming threat of nuclear war, but also in terms of their economic policies. so in one place here it says, milt on fre milton freedman in association with pentagon pictures. linking that conservative economic idealogy with the defense buildup. this really plays into something elizabeth and batise both talked about, reagan's reputation as an anti-soviet crusader. i want to talk about how those i am -- imperceptions target the reputation. he says it gives the united states nothing more than the right to sell coca-cola in siberia. then when he becomes president in his fi
