George Shultz, Who Led US Cold-war Diplomacy, Dies
George Shultz, who oversaw the decoupling of the US dollar from the gold standard in the early 1970s and kept the gears of diplomacy running under the din of Cold War rhetoric as Ronald Reagan's Secretary of State a decade later, died at 100.
An Ivy League-educated economist, Shultz moved seamlessly from academia to government to business. He served as labour secretary, director of the Office of Management and Budget and Treasury secretary under President Richard Nixon. In the Reagan administration, he clashed with more ideological members of the president's team in his efforts to craft a gradualist, consensus-based foreign policy.
He became Reagan's second Secretary of State, and the nation's 60th, in July 1982, following the resignation of Alexander Haig, and served through the end of Reagan's second term in January 1989.
