Estimating the Crowd...neither an art nor a science. Estimates of the crowd size for yesterday's protest at the State Capitol varied wildly. Before reporters managed to get their estimates together, the Allentown Morning Call initially reported a mere 600 in attendance. Later, the Associated Press said "more than a thousand" and the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review and Pittsburgh Post Gazette upped it to more than 1,500 but the Harrisburg Patriot News topped them all with an estimate of 2,000. With all the media and organizational support, it was a rally dwarfed in size if not spirit by dozens of predecessor rallies.
