Thatcher handbag fetches $40,000 at charity auction | Reuters: "Best-selling author and former Conservative politician Jeffrey Archer was wielding the gavel at the auctioneer's London showrooms at a sale where proceeds went to the charity chosen by each contributing sportsman, politician or musician.

Top price on the night was paid for the chief timekeeper's stop watch that recorded Roger Bannister's first four-minute mile in 1954."
