16/3/81: Time magazine (Alexander Haig cover)

On 16 March 1981, Time magazine featured the US Secretary of State Alexander Haig on its front cover.



Haig (b. 1927) was a veteran of both the Korean and the Vietnam wars and had served as NATO Supreme Commander from 1974–79. His term in office under Ronald Reagan was relatively short and his comments and actions often met with controversy both at home and abroad. He resigned from his post in June 1982. His memoirs, Inner Circles: How America Changed The World, were published in 1992. Haig died in 2010.
