He was 81. Dr. Nash was born in Philadelphia and educated at Haverford College, the University of Pennsylvania, and New York University. He received his doctorate of philosophy in political science in 1964. After working as an intelligence analyst at the MITRE Corp. and the General Electric Co., Dr. Nash embarked on a career in teaching. He became a professor of political science at Hollins College in Virginia in 1966 and was named department chair in 1967. During sabbaticals from Hollins, he was visiting professor of government at Wesleyan University and visiting professor of political science at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England.

His "American Foreign Policy: A Search for Security, " published in three editions, was used widely in college classrooms. His influential article, "The Bureaucratization of Homicide, " published in The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, chronicled his disillusionment with military power as a result of his experience as an intelligence analyst during the Cold War."
