he was 69 years old and the shock waves from his passing are traveling around the world as we speak. joining us now "360" m.d. sanjay gupta and paul begala who worked with him and jill dougherty who covered his exploits. paul, let's start with you. you knew him and worked with him during the clinton administration. what's his legacy? >> what a towering figure. as you said, he began his career in vietnam where he worked then to try to bring peace to that war. in his career, in his life working to bring peace to afghanistan. for the 40 years in between he seemed to be in the middle of every hot spot. a towering figure. it's kind of hard if you didn't know him to imagine. he was drawn into a business diplomacy that usually attracts bright but sort of shy and retiring people and dick was a larger than life figure in every sense of the word. i still haven't fully digested the shock of thinking about an american foreign policy without richard holbrooke.
