Benjamin V. Cohen became a major legal architect of much of the New
Deal legislation including the Securities Act and the plan for
Lend-Lease and economic stability during World War II. A shy man, Mr.
Cohen worked behind the scenes where his brilliance as a legal
draftsman was widely recognized. Following World War II, Mr. Cohen
turned his talents to the problems of world peace and became one of
the architects of the United Nations, serving on the U.S. delegation
to the U.N. and on the United Nations Disarmament Commission. His
abiding interest in world peace and his outstanding legal ability
influenced American Presidents and world leaders until his death on
August 15, 1983.
