LaRouche to Diplomats: To Avoid War, We Need a New Roosevelt-Type IMF System
Beware the guns of August! Citing signs of the onrushing economic crisis, Lyndon LaRouche, addressing a private gathering of diplomats, warned that “under these economic conditions, war becomes likely,” and that Dick Cheney’s drive for war against Iran compounded the possibility of world war. But he emphasized that “the alternative is also on the table,” which would involve a process of engagement by the United States with Russia, China, and India.
The Guns of August 2007: Cheney’s Finger Is Already on the Trigger
by Jeffrey Steinberg
Dick Cheney, right after G.W. Bush’s return to Washington from the promising Kennebunkport summit with Russian President Putin, convinced Bush to resume a preemptive war policy: that diplomacy wasn’t working in the case of Iran.

Retort to the New York Times: Music: Science or Fantasy?
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
“A seemingly routine book review by the New York Times’ Edward Rotstein,” Lyndon LaRouche writes, “may attract the attention of the witting to a seemingly little matter of actually great importance.” Rotstein reviewed a new book, by Lawrence Kramer, titled Why Classical Music Still Matters.

And why is an understanding of the work of astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler so crucial to anyone who wants to make fundamental progress in advancing Classical music and culture today— as the LaRouche Youth Movement has found?
