LaRouche PAC Reports:
Bush Sings His Swan-Song

Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. issued this statement on Nov. 9. "Impeach that worse-than-useless Bush-Cheney pair while we still have a nation which exists to forgive them for what they have done," he writes. "Let them go kindly; let them go humanely, but `humanely' means that they must go, and that quickly, for the sake of our nation, and also for all humanity, too. Those who lack the political guts for that great send-off should not be treated as leaders inside the U.S.A."

Anathema of Venice:
Lorenzo Da Ponte,
Mozart's `American' Librettist

Susan Bowen reviews The Librettist of Venice; The Remarkable Life of Lorenzo Da Ponte; Mozart's Poet, Casanova's Friend, and Italian Opera's Impresario in America, by Rodney Bolt. In examining what Bolt's book doesn't say, she concludes that "Any truly authentic biography of this Classical scholar, arch-enemy of sophistry, and indefatigable promoter of creativity in science and art, must needs bring to light that truth which Venice, even today, would wish to suppress: that Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749-1838), like Mozart (1756-91), was a product of, and also a champion of the American Revolution and the Renaissance idea of man that it represented."
