Lincoln’s Railroad And the Eurasian Land-Bridge Today

by Jeffrey Steinberg

A presentation to a West Coast cadre school of the LaRouche Youth Movement on Feb. 1. “This issue has been the fundamental question on the table for more than the last 150 years. It has been, in effect, the unfulfilled mission of the American Revolution. And it was a self- conscious policy of Lincoln, and later of Franklin Roosevelt, to achieve what Lyndon LaRouche has revived today in the call for the Eurasian Land-Bridge.”

Correction

In the March 21 issue, the key to Figure 1, in the article entitled “War Drive Pushes U.S. Airlines into Free Fall,” showing the decline in air traffic as the Iraq war approached, should have read “Domestic,” “Atlantic,” “Ibero-American,” and “Pacific” to mark those airline routes. We regret the error.
