Lyndon LaRouche

since accused ADL of complic-
ity in Mrs. Gandhi's assassi-
nation.
Similar rash charges were
rampant during the examina-
tion of witnesses. Two
LaRouche followers, Dr. John
Grauerholz and Muriel Mirak,
testified that they believed
NBC, theNew York Times, the
Washington Post, and Walter
Mondale to be parts of a lobby
promoting the sale and use of
narcotics. LaRouche himself,
while on the witness stand,
elaborated on his theory that
Mondale is also an "agent of
influence" of the Soviet KGB.
ADL's Irwin Suall was
called to testify as part of
LaRouche's case, having re-
ferred to the extremist leader
on one of the NBC telecasts as
a "small-time Hitler." Suall
told the jury how anti-
Semitism is often camouf-
laged, how an ideologue can
sometimes relate to Jews as
individuals (LaRouche has
Jewish adherents) and still
espouse political ideas about
"the Jews" that seethe with
anti-Semitism. Suall -defended
his characterization of
LaRouche by citing the man's
own writings and the 1980 de-
cision of the New York Sup-
reme Court dismissing the
first LaRouche lawsuit
against ADL on the grounds
that characterizing him as
anti-Semitic was "fair com-
ment."
At the close of the plaintiff's
present case, Judge James
Cacheris granted the defen-
dants' motion to dismiss the
conspiracy charge and in-
') structed the jurors to consider
only the question of whether
the broadcasts had actually
defamed Lyndon LaRouche.
The six-person federal jury,
after deliberating several
hours, found that there had
been no defamation. This was
the fourth time LaRouche
sued ADL for libel. LaRouche
told the press that the federal
judge had been "corrupted"
and had "rigged the trial." A
LaRouche spokesman said
that the jury had been "mas-
sively contaminated" by ADL.
The jury awarded NBC
$2,000 compensatory damages
and $3 million punitive dam-
ages against LaRouche as the
result of his group's attempt to
sabotage a network interview
conducted with the telecasts.
(Judge Cacheris subsequently
reduced the punitive award to
$200,000.)
LaRouche claims he can't
pay the judgment. "It's a joke,"
he said, and testified that he is
virtually penniless — assets of
about $5,000 along with some
books and guns — and that he
can afford to pay for nothing
but haircuts. He said he didn't
know who pays for his food and
clothes, who pays the rent on
his sumptuous Virginia man-
sion, who pays his lawyers and
his vast security forces, etc.,
and that he hadn't filed an in-
come tax return since 1972.
Ironically, there can be no
punitive judgment on the cult
leader's litigious habits. The
repeated lawsuits against
ADL could well be an attempt
to intimidate. But ADL's at-
torney in this case, Rodney
Page, told a packed courtroom
in his closing argument: "If
NBC called us tomorrow and
asked for another interview
about Mr. LaRouche, we
would do it again. We will not
be stopped by Lyndon
LaRouche."

Here's something else
you've been waiting for.
This article is excerpted from the May
1985, issue of the ADL Bulletin.
Defendants Hit
The Beach
Jerusalem (JTA) — Defendants
in the ongoing Jewish terror trial
took a swim last Thursday. It
seems that it was not quite accord-
ing to regulations, but while on
the way from the Jerusalem dis-
trict court to the prison of Tel
Mond, the bus deviated from the
regular route and headed toward
the beach at Netanya.
The stop could have been more
pleasant, had it not happened that
one of the defendants, Haim
Ben-David, almost drowned. He
was hospitalized at a Netanya
hospital. His life was not in
danger.
As soon as the story was leaked,
the prison authority announced
that the transportation of the de-
fendants was not within its re-
sponsibility, but rather within the
responsibility of the Israel Police
force.
