He also was a member of the policy planning staff at the U.S. Department of State from 1999 to 2000. Ullman served on The New York Times editorial board from 1977 to 1978 and also was editor of Foreign Policy from 1978 to 1980. Ullman was born in Baltimore, Md., and grew up in San Antonio, Texas.

Phil. from Oxford University in 1957 and 1960, respectively. He taught at Harvard before coming to Princeton.
