THE D.C. CROWD

From several sources, it seems a fair estimate that tens of thousands of anti-war protestors were in Washington this weekend. The D.C. police chief estimated a probable 100,000 in all. Reports of as few as 2,000 may have been from one of the minor rallies, and I misread them. I still don’t see why the NYT could not make a reasonable guess. The AP managed it, in what was, to my mind, still a somewhat breathless puff piece on the event. Anyway, apologies on the numbers.
