Democrat Acheson, along with former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Nitze and Albert Wohlstetter, a nuclear-war strategist at the University of Chicago, announced that they were forming a bipartisan group of scientists, professors and former public officials called the Committee to Maintain a Prudent Defense Policy...
