Your editorial ``Vote no on LaRouche'' (Nov. 2) includes the following false statement:
``In the alternative universe of the LaRoucheans, (Henry Kissinger is a British intelligence agent; Queen Elizabeth, Oliver North) and the pope are drug smugglers: . . .''
The fact is that I have never accused any pope of involvement in drug smuggling in any way. This is the kind of outright lie by your publication which gives the popular news media a bad name.
Retract this lie, with accompanying apology, in equal prominence in the same location in your next edition.
