George P. Shultz, who as secretary of State in the 1980s shaped U.S. foreign policy in the closing phase of the Cold War when a dangerous nuclear-armed stalemate gave way to peaceful if not quite cordial relations between the superpowers, died Saturday. He was 100.
Shultz’s tenure as President Reagan’s chief diplomat, from 1982-89, came after he served in three Cabinet-level posts in the Nixon administration: Treasury secretary, director of Management and Budget, and Labor secretary.
Shultz died at his home on the Stanford campus, said Jeff Marschner, director of media relations at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, on Sunday.
