...delegates' lounge at U.N. headquarters at Lake Success, where representatives of the world's sovereign nations gather over Martinis or orange juice, was a handy place for a casual meeting. There, one day last February, the U.S.'s lanky negotiator, Philip Jessup, fell into conversation with Russia's barrel-chested Yakov Malik. From that conversation, the U.S. learned last week, came the series of talks which brought the first break in the cold war in months: the Russians were prepared to abandon the blockade of Berlin. The end of the Berlin airlift, a historic employment...
...speech before a crowd of several hundred at the New Lecture Hall, Brinton rapped the United States for a sense of self-righteousness which, he claimed, is pushing us toward war. To make the peace, he states that both the U.S. and Russia must stop their "cat-and-mouse" strategies and work together through...
Henry D.

S. would retain no control as to the material's final disposition...
...arms aid now would be a serious shock to direct Russian-American relations, which seem to be picking up slightly. Russia could probably find herself psychologically able to deal with a billion-and-a-half dollars worth of war material when it was controlled by one country 3000 miles, away; when distributed through a disjointed group of very conceivably irresponsible countries, 300 miles distant the guns and planes can be both inflammatory and an efficient block to negotiation. It is pretty shortsighted to entirely rule out possible negotiations designed to case Russian and American tension. If we deposit a huge...
