Political admiration
NZPA Vancouver The Prime Minister, Mr Lange, admits to a sneaking regard for his dominating British counterpart, Margaret Thatcher. “I disagree with a very great deal of what she says and her position,”, he told reporters after the close of the Commonwealth leaders conference. "But it can almost be a relief amid the turgid torrent of words of vague and imprecise drift that can emerge from some delega-
tions to hear her. "She’s a sort of Honda Prelude and the rest are ’47 Fords.” Describing the effect she can have, he commented: “If you’ve ever stood and gazed at the majesty of Mount Cook, or something which is a unique phenomenon, that’s what she does. “I was in the room with the world’s most powerful woman and the world’s richest man for about a day ... and that has an effect on you,” Mr Lange said.
