MILESTONES, Page 97
DIED. Samuel Stratton, 73, one of the few pro-defense
Democratic Congressmen in the mold of Senator Henry Jackson;
of a heart attack; in Gaithersburg, Md. As a champion of U.S.
involvement in the Vietnam War and of the B-1 bomber and the
MX missile, Stratton was at war with many of his Democratic
colleagues in the House. But during his three decades in
Congress, the upstate New Yorker hewed to the orthodox liberal
line on many issues, supporting school busing and economic
sanctions against South Africa.
