Ex-Sec of State Eagleburger Dies
Friends and former colleagues say Lawrence S. Eagleburger, the only career foreign service officer to rise to the position of secretary of state, has died.
Word of Eagleburger's death Saturday came from representatives of former President George H.W. Bush and former Secretary of State James Baker.
No other details were immediately available.
Eagleburger, who was 80, was a straightforward diplomat whose exuberant style masked a hard-driving commitment to solving foreign policy problems.
