Half an hour later, the Mercedes S-600 glides onto the George Washington Bridge. 1961 United Foundation Torch DriveAs the private jet slows to a stop at Teterboro AirportвЂ”12 miles west of ManhattanвЂ”the limo is already waiting, doors open. After demonstrating his fundraising prowess with the 1957 UJA campaign, Max Fisher was appointed chairman of Detroits 1961 United Foundation Torch Drive and raised a then-record 19.5 million. Father: Herman Weinberger Mother: Cerise Carpenter.

As a prominent Republican he served in a variety of prominent state and federal positions for three decades, including Chairman of the California Republican Party, 1962-68.In the 85 years since, George ShultzвЂ”the former secretary of labor, secretary of the treasury, secretary of state, first director of the Cabinet-level Office of Management and Budget, former president of the engineering colossus Bechtel, and member of the Stanford faculty since 1974вЂ”has crossed innumerable bridges, many of them figurative but of such enduring significance that they may as well have been made from steel, rock and concrete. Caspar Willard 'Cap' Weinberger, GBE (Aug March 28, 2006), was an American politician and businessman. вЂњMy friend and I bicycled here from Englewood.вЂќ That was in 1931.Caspar Weinberger.

More likely he would sit for hours or days if necessary, listening carefully, interrupting only for clarification, until an acceptable compromise could be reached.So rare is a sighting of Shultz visibly angry that people talk about the red-faced variant as though they had just seen a passenger pigeon, extinct since 1914, on the wing. ItвЂ™s equally unlikely that ShultzвЂ”challenged to a duelвЂ”would resort to pistols as Hamilton and Vice-President Aaron Burr did in 1804. But once upon a time, he came very, very close.Given his unassuming personality, itвЂ™s unlikely that anyone will ever write Shultz, an Obie-winning rap musical about AmericaвЂ™s 62nd secretary of the treasury, as has been done with Hamilton about AmericaвЂ™s first. About the only significant prize Shultz hasnвЂ™t received is the Nobel.

One plant was in Fort Worth, Texas, where Shultz and Weber traveled with a team member from the United Packinghouse Workers of America. The fund had been established to mitigate the impact of the closures of big-city meatpacking plants on workers, many of whom were minorities. It was an incident in the early 1960s that showed WeberвЂ”who later became president of the University of Colorado and then NorthwesternвЂ”the stuff that Shultz is made of.Shultz, Reagan, Gorbachev and Shevardnadze came within one word of agreeing to eliminate all Soviet and American nuclear weapons.While dean of the University of Chicago Business School, Shultz co-chaired the Armour Automation Fund with another highly regarded labor economist, Clark Kerr, then president of the University of California. A softly uttered вЂњOh, that bastardвЂќ was as stiff as ShultzвЂ™s language got.

вЂњShultz didnвЂ™t appear to explode or get angry,вЂќ Weber says, вЂњbut just looked straight in the eye and said, вЂIf thatвЂ™s the case, put a third bed in the room and weвЂ™ll all be in there.вЂ™вЂќ Says Weber, вЂњYou could see cringe a little what was worse, having a black person in the hotel or having three people in one roomвЂќ on a mixed-race basis. When he told the clerk that he and Weber would share one room and the union rep could have the other, the clerk backpedaled, saying that they were already booked in one room. Their colleague was black.Shultz had never observed racism so intimately before. Their colleague, having presented his reservation confirmation, was told the hotel was full.

вЂњWe need to be working for open systems of government,вЂќ he says, вЂњbut we donвЂ™t need to go around the world on a campaign.вЂќThe emeritus GSB professor of economics and Hoover distinguished fellow, whom his friend and former protГ©gГ©e Condoleezza Rice calls an вЂњavowed capitalist,вЂќ shares concerns about the banking system not so different from those voiced by avowed socialist Bernie Sanders. The collaboration aimed to address the red state/blue state divide and the partisan gridlock that has made passing federal environmental legislation nearly impossible.ShultzвЂ™s thinking is sufficiently catholic that while he strongly advocates increasing AmericaвЂ™s military might, he doesnвЂ™t believe that the United States should try to turn every nation into Denmark by exporting democracy. Chris Christie commented, вЂњEveryone makes a mistake once in a while, even George Shultz.вЂќShultz co-authored The State Clean Energy Cookbook, sponsored by StanfordвЂ™s left-leaning Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance, and right-leaning Hoover InstitutionвЂ™s Shultz-Stephenson Task Force on Energy Policy.

Late on the second day came the bombshell proposal that the two countries eliminate all nuclear weapons. The word was laboratory.The negotiations in Reykjavik were intimate. Despite severe resistance from hardened cold warriors, by 1985 relations had warmed sufficiently that Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and Reagan were able to meet in Geneva.In 1986 in Iceland, Shultz, Reagan, Gorbachev and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze came within one word of agreeing to eliminate all Soviet and American nuclear weapons, which surely would have won them the Nobel Prize. With him are National Security Advisor Bud McFarlane, Shultz, Ambassador to the USSR Arthur Hartman and White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan.Former Stanford president Gerhard Casper says that because Shultz is open to new ideas, he is вЂњthe only person I know who is getting younger all the time.вЂќShultz championed one contentious idea early in his tenure as secretary of state: He encouraged President Ronald Reagan to reopen communication with the Soviets. And thatвЂ™s not the way to go about it.вЂќOUTREACH: Reagan about to meet Gorbachev in Geneva in 1985. Because the New York Fed is the regulator and is picked by the financial community.
