...long time there was a little sign on the door of a small Columbia University office which read: "Professor Jessup on leave until Feb. 1." Someone thoughtfully crossed out "until Feb. 1" when gangling, affable Philip Caryl Jessup, having used up his year's leave as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations, went off to Washington to become Secretary of State Dean Acheson's top negotiator, with the title of ambassador at large...
Last week State announced that Phil Jessup was sticking to his decision to leave Government service next March. His notice followed by a week the resignation of Policy Planner George ("Mr. X") Kennan, who will leave in June after spending the most of the next six months reviewing U.S. policy in Latin America and Africa.

It took credit for the fact that its soothing, pale-green lounge had provided a common meeting ground for the U.S.'s Philip Jessup and Russia's Jakov Malik when they began negotiating the Berlin blockade's end. Actually the job the Assembly had done was middling. It had (among other things) admitted Israel to U.N.; defeated a Latin American motion to lift the diplomatic boycott of Spain; again asked the Big Five to curb their veto. Perhaps the most significant measure-though it had little...
