God rest his soul:
Retired Army Gen. Alexander Haig, who held influential positions in the United States military and in politics and who as White House chief of staff shepherded Richard M. Nixon toward peacefully resigning the presidency, died today at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore of complications from an infection. He was 85.
A patriot with a checkered career – as can be expected from a man hired by Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan for various jobs.
