George Shultz, American statesman, dies at 100
WASHINGTON George P. Shultz, a widely respected statesman and economist through many productive years on the public stage, has died. He was 100.
“Shultz was a key player, alongside President Ronald Reagan, in changing the direction of history by using the tools of diplomacy to bring the Cold War to an end,” the Hoover Institution at Stanford University said in announcing his death on Saturday.
Shultz began his government service in the Eisenhower administration during the 1950s and would remain a public figure through the Obama presidency. He was, however, best known for his stints in the Republican administrations of Richard Nixon (as Labor secretary, director of Office of Management and Budget, Treasury secretary) and Ronald Reagan (secretary of State).
