<p> DIED. Oliver Tambo, 75, dignified former president of the
African National Congress; of a stroke; in Johannesburg. After
opening Johannesburg's first black law firm, Tambo and Nelson
Mandela helped found the A.N.C. Youth League in 1944 and battled
apartheid in the streets--as well as the courts. After the
A.N.C. was banned and Mandela imprisoned, Tambo led the struggle
in exile, working for diplomatic and economic sanctions against
South Africa and setting up guerrilla units in neighboring black
states. Debilitated by a stroke since his return in December
1990, he was replaced as president in 1991 by Mandela.
