FILE- In a June 7, 1984 file photo, President Ronald Reagan has a word in the ear of Britain's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, at a reception given by the British Government at London's St. James Palace for leaders attending the Economic Conference. Newly disclosed records show Britain's iconic prime minister Margaret Thatcher snubbed aides who questioned Ronald Reagan's credentials as U.S. president. Files released on Thursday, Dec. 29, 2010 under the country's 30-year disclosure rule also show she made a previously unknown effort to intervene in the U.S. Embassy hostage-taking. (AP Photo, File)
