The national newspaper of political extremist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. failed to publish after three of his companies were forced into bankruptcy. “Everything’s out of business,” said Odin Anderson, an attorney for LaRouche. LaRouche, who is believed to be in West Germany, issued a statement through his presidential campaign committee calling the forced bankruptcy proceedings a Soviet-inspired “atrocity.” Federal prosecutors in Alexandria, Va., obtained a bankruptcy judge’s order seizing the corporate assets in a move aimed at collecting more than $16 million in unpaid contempt-of-court fines.
