Paul Henry Nitze (January 16, 1907 October 19, 2004) was a high-ranking United States government official who helped shape Cold War defense policy. George Frost Kennan (February 16, 1904 March 17, 2005) was an American advisor, diplomat, and historian, known best as an advocate of a policy of containment of Soviet expansion. His "Long Telegram" from Moscow during 1946 and the subsequent 1947 article "The Sources of Soviet Conduct" argued that the Soviet regime was inherently expansionist and had to be "contained" in areas of strategic importance to the United States. Kennan left the Department of State and became a realist critic of U.S. foreign policy. He continued to analyze international affairs as a faculty member of the Institute for Advanced Study from 1956 until his death at age 101." More
