R.L. MACBRIDE, LIBERTARIAN, DIES

Roger Lea MacBride who ran for president in 1976 as the Libertarian Party's nominee, died Sunday at his home in Miami Beach. He was 65. The cause was heart failure, his daughter said.

MacBride drew national attention in 1972, when, as one of Virginia's 12 Republican electors, he cast his vote not for Richard Nixon, but for the Libertarian candidates, giving them their only vote in the Electoral College.
