i Milbrath calls himself a "po-
litical skeptic" these days. Like'
many others, he made his exit
in 1975 "with the realization
that there wasn't anything dy-

TO MILBRATH, the fateful
election "was lost before it

In the end, says Milbrath,
"HRP suffered from the same
kind of high - handed liberal-;

from in the first place - that
thing of 'we know what's bestI
for you whether you like it or
not."'
But not everyone in Ann Ar

THE OFFICIAL reported that
considerable progress also had
been made in recent days on
setting up a constitutional con-
ference for South West Africa
(Namibia), which is heading to-
ward independence after 57
years of South African control.
The conference would bring to-

Africa, the South West Africa
People's Organization (SWAPO)
and "other legitimate parties,"
a U.S. official said, but the
exact formula for representa-
tion has not been worked out.
Kissinger will meet Sam Nu-
joma, the head of SWAPO, in
New York next week, the offi-
cial said. Nujoma's organization
has been recognized by the Unit-
ed Nations as the sole legitimate
spokesman for Namibia, and he
has insisted on dealing directly
with South Africa.
