Since many historians consider
Warren G. Harding to be one of America's worst presidents, one would think he would be boring -- not so. He was a genial guy, but his extramarital affairs tarnished his reputation and the scandals made by members of his Cabinet pretty much ruined any hope Harding had of leaving a positive mark on history.

Margaret Thatcher, known as "the Iron Lady," died on April 8, 2013 after suffering a stroke. She was 87. Thatcher was the prime minister of the United Kingdom for 11 years, from 1979 to 1990, and was the first woman in modern history to lead a Western country.
Reactions to Thatcher's death have been divisive, with some mourning the death of a great lady and others have literally been singing, "Ding, dong! The witch is dead!" (the song reached number one on UK's top song charts this week). Her policies to trim down the government and battle the unions have left lasting effects in the UK, some feel for the better and others, obviously, fell for the worse.
Thatcher's funeral will be held on Wednesday, April 17 at St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
