Shortly after 12:30 p.m. one day last week, James B. Allen of Alabama rose slowly to his feet from his aisle seat in the U.S. Senate and announced that he wanted to pose 17 parliamentary questions on the historic issue before the house.

In the 1940s he rose almost effortlessly as a protege of Secretary Edward Stettinius and his deputy, Dean Acheson, serving as an adviser to Franklin Roosevelt at the Yalta conference and as Secretary-General of the founding convention of the United Nations. In 1947, at age 42, he became president of the prestigious Carnegie Endowment...
