"The demonstrators stretched for about 10 city blocks as they headed down Broadway. A police spokesman declined to give an estimate of the size of the crowd, although organizers claimed there were 300,000 people. There were no arrests," says Associated Press (at <http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/04/29/war.protest.ap/index.html?section=cnn_latest>).

Phew, it wasn't as small as I feared it might be! But I bet the media will give bigger space to the infernal pro-war rally in DC on the 30th. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
