- <p> POWER AT LAST
- </p>
- <p> It took 39 years, but at the age of 74, Cheddi Jagan
- finally made it. Long an avowed Marxist, Jagan has been
- contesting elections in the South American nation of Guyana
- (pop. 751,000) since 1953, when it was a British colony. He
- claims to have won several but says he was kept from serving out
- his mandates by British or American CIA machinations or by vote
- fraud. Last week he won yet another vote, and this time the
- loser, President Desmond Hoyte, urged Guyanans to accept the
- result and allow Jagan, who now supports free-market policies,
- to become head of state at last.
