LAROUCHE RETURNS TO VIRGINIA AFTER PRISON

Political maverick Lyndon LaRouche quietly returned to Virginia this week after being released from the federal prison in Minnesota where he had served five years for fraud and conspiracy.

LaRouche, 71, flew back Wednesday and was whisked to a secluded mansion near Round Hill, in Loudoun County about 50 miles west of Washington. The estate is rented from a Leesburg couple by LaRouche supporters.

LaRouche, whose group has pushed for the death of the Federal Reserve system and has accused U.S. schools of brainwashing children, says he will be a candidate for president in 1996.

He was convicted in 1988 on charges of mail and tax fraud, which stemmed from allegations that he took money without permission from the credit-card accounts of elderly contributors to his political organization. - The Washington Post
