 Predicted earlier to be the largest worldwide single
issue protest in history. 
  And today a million people in Rome, 1.3 million in
Barcelona, 300,000 in France, 500,000 in Berlin, 100's
of thousands in Madrid, 250,000 in New York, 50,000 in
Athens, over a 1/2 a million in London, 10,000 in
Beirut, 5,000 in Athens,... definitely the largest
demonstration I have ever seen here in Austin (and
very peaceable and organized). Over 600 towns and
cities involved worldwide. 
 Photograph a historical world event or watch TV?
 Gee what should one do?...
 See you in the street,
 Clif Wright
