About the Author:
"Hylozoic Hedgehog" is the nom de guerre of a former NCLC member who first joined the LaRouche organization in 1971. He worked in the group's Manhattan-based National Office "Intelligence Staff" from 1974 until 1979, when he quit the organization in disgust over its ties to the far right. In January 2013, his book How It All Began: The Origins and History of the National Caucus of Labor Committees in New York and Philadelphia (1966-1971) was published by LaRouche Planet at http://laroucheplanet.info/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Library.HIABcover.
