Alexander Haig, RIP
I just got the word that former White House Chief of Staff (under Nixon and Ford), NATO Supreme Commander, and Secretary of State (under Reagan), Alexander Haig has passed away.
It certainly seems we are now losing some of the titans of America's foreign policy tradition. Last year, we lost McNamara and now Haig. It is always a bit sad as these losses put a definitive end to an era. Of course, we still have Brent Scowcroft and Henry Kissinger, but the titans are falling.
The Washington Post has a good retrospective of Haig's career.
