Yes, quite in jail, but that doesn't even slow him down!  I imagine
that his organization is energized by it!  Billboards blanket the
Washington Metropolitan area with a message like:

    MR. BUSH, PLEASE PARDON LYNDON LaROUCHE...

LYNDON LaROUCHE AND THE NEW AMERICAN FASCISM by Dennis King.  It's an
awesome book.  I met King last year, and he has a right to be nervous!

From the back of the dust jacket:

    PORTRAIT OF A FASCIST...

    Here, at last, is the real Lyndon LaRouche and the facts behind:
       o  His swing from the far left to the ultraright
       o  His role in the 1968 student riots at Columbia University
       o  His dealings with the CIA and his input into the Star Wars 
          program
       o  His influence on every level of the American political 
          scene -- from the 1981 New York City mayoral election to
          the 1988 presidential campaign -- and his smear campaigns 
          against the opponents of Ed Koch, Jesse Helms, and George
          Bush.
       o  His use of anti-Semitism and fascism to enlist more and
          more followers.
       o  His connections with Teamster boss Jackie Presser and 
          Panama's General Manual Noriega.
    Here is the complete, unadulterated story of a political fanatic
    and his mission  -- Lyndon LaRouche and his vision of a fascist
    America.


P.S.  There should be a new edition of Peter Stafford's _Psychedelics
      Encyclopedia_ out.  Keep your eyes peeled this year...
