Coalition for a Democratic Majority helped found CPD

Read this truly fascinating story about an organization called the Coalition for a Democratic Majority, created in 1972 by Democrats who wanted to formalize a military containment policy against world "communism", and about how Ben Wattenberg and Irving Kristol were co-chairmen, and about all the current conservative movement types who were part of it:

Ben Wattenberg
Irving Kristol
Nathan Glazer
Samuel P. Huntington
Muravchik
Michael Novak
Richard Pipes
Jeane Kirkpatrick
