One Campus, Two Personality Cults--Big Problem?

Members of the LaRouche Youth Movement interrupted a speech hosted by the University of Southern California's Objectivist Club Friday. The LaRouche protesters threw condoms and meat at the speaker, who was giving a lecture called "Global Capitalism: the Solution to World Poverty and Oppression." The condoms were decorated with pictures of the faces of political leaders. The meat was raw. One witness told the Daily Trojan: "I believe he said, 'On behalf of the LaRouche campaign, we dedicate this raw meat to you for supporting a philosophy that results in the death of millions of children." Local police called the protest peaceful.
