Taking up Chris=92s idea of sharing information we could use in anti-war leaflets, I wonder if any of you have information on the history of political demonstrations in the US and UK in terms of sheer numbers. Am I right in thinking that if Saturday=92s London rally reaches 0.75 million, that it will be the largest ever political demonstration in the UK? Does anyone have comparable measures for the US? Chomsky was interviewed the other week saying that the anti-war movement in the US at the moment is considerably larger than at a comparable time during the Vietnam War. Ta Adrian
