Some nyc march photos are misleading: too few marchers.

The police had us holed up in side streets waiting to turn onto cpw. Those are crowds of one block long. The real March was from 71st to 45th: 26 blocks. So, if your pic you see is less than 26 blocks, it's a holding block, and there were several. Add that one to all the rest.

We saw several helicopters way up, and so there should be complete shots at some point.
