| US statesman, born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA. He studied at Princeton and Harvard, worked in the Nixon administration (1969–74), then served under presidents Ford (1974–6) and Carter (1977–81) as US ambassador to Portugal, and later as deputy director of the CIA. He found himself out of step with the ‘hawks’ in the Reagan administration (1981–9), and left to work at Sears World Trade after barely a year as deputy secretary of defence. In 1986 he became National Security Adviser, and served as defence secretary from 1987, supporting Soviet–US arms reduction initiatives. He later worked in merchant banking. |
