Kerry Wins the Debate, So Far
Although President Bush did not actually crack up during the Sept. 30 debate with Senator Kerry—thanks in part to the elaborate rules and regulations insisted upon by his handlers—his enraged "body language" drew attention to the question of his mental health, the issue which Lyndon LaRouche has defined as the major issue in the countdown to the election on Nov. 2.

LaRouche Briefs Europe:
`A Turning Point in History'
Lyndon LaRouche told the Sept. 24-26 European conference of the Schiller Institute: "You are now living in a time whose importance exceeds any in the memory of any living person on this planet. What will happen between now and the date of the inauguration of the next President of the United States, will be the greatest turning point in history, for better, or for very much worse, in a very long time."

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, in her keynote to the conference, described the intervention her party, the BüSo, made, to stop the slide of German politics into the neo-conservative "free-market" morass of the Cheney-Bush co-thinkers. The BüSo and the LaRouche Youth Movement intervened into the state elections in Saxony, renewing the Monday demonstrations, and adding the beauty of singing, from the repertoire of the greatest of Germany's poets and composers.
