The LaRouche Case
New York Times Caught Red Handed, Or The following is taken from the preface of a book called RAILROAD!

It contains many of the court transcripts of the case, as well as excerpts from the appeals of LaRouche and his co-defendants. |

Then, a few weeks later, the Sunday New York Times featured its own version of the Our Town series under Montgomery and Blum's byline, on the front page of the October 7 and 8, 1979 edition. From that point on, Dennis King traveled in the United States and much of the world, on the payroll and expense pad of Leo Cherne's leftwing CIA and other cronies, telling the wildest tales his imagination would concoct, and also trying frequently to incite LaRouche's assassination. King, like his accomplice, terrorist Mordechai Levy, could call publicly for LaRouche's assassination repeatedly; the FBI covered repeatedly for both of them, ..."(pp. xxxiii and xxxiv) 46. An eighteen-part series of articles, headlined "Nazis on the Rise" by Dennis King, ran from August 1979 through March 1982, in Our Town, a weekly East Side Manhattan throwaway paper. 47.
