But her third term was riddled with setbacks. Dissension over monetary policy, taxes and Britain’s place in the European Community caused her government to give up hard-won gains against inflation and unemployment. By the time she was ousted in another Tory revolt — this time over her resistance to expanding Britain’s role in a European union — the economy was in a recession and her reputation tarnished.

但她的第三個任期卻處處受挫。圍繞貨幣政策、稅收以及英國在歐盟地位的分歧，導致她的政府放棄了來之不易的抗通膨和降失業成果。當她再次因保守黨內部的反叛而被趕下台時——這次是因為她反對擴大英國在歐盟中的作用——英國經濟已陷入衰退，她的聲譽也已受損。

令人驚訝的是，考慮到自19世紀以來決定郵票主題的諸多規定（包括要求人物去世至少10年後才能被印上肖像）的純粹性，集郵家們對此幾乎沒有異議。美國集郵協會（American Philatelic Society）致力於推廣集郵，他們支持這項技術，並正在開發一系列以郵政史上重要時刻為主題的郵票，準備在Zazzle.com網站上出售。麥克基爾南先生解釋說，客製化郵票在技術上屬於包含數位影像的計費郵件，這可能是其受到友好歡迎的原因之一。 “它實際上並不是郵票，”他說。

A little-noticed JOBS Act provision that would allow firms to privately iron out issues with regulators prior to an IPO is drawing flak after Groupon's problems.

Surprisingly there has been little dissension among philatelists, considering the implications for the purity of regulations that have determined subject matter for stamps since the 1800's, including one that requires a person be dead for at least 10 years before being immortalized. The American Philatelic Society, which promotes stamp collecting, has endorsed the technology and is developing its own series of important moments in postal history to sell as stamps on Zazzle.com. A possible reason for the benign reception is that, as Mr. McKiernan explained, custom postage is technically metered mail that includes a digital image. "It's not really a stamp," he said.
