Things that went on last week I: 10,000 men

Lots of stories, as apparently a big rally last weekend launched the 10,000 Men anti-crime initiative, followed by some neighborhood orientation sessions...

• Thousands of men pledge to patrol for peace: 'We can make a major difference'
  
  
• A LEGION RESPONDS: Grass-roots anti-crime effort launches
  
  
• They came because . . .
  
  
• Stu Bykofsky | '10,000' goes on the offensive
  
  
• 10,000 reasons to declare their appeal a success
  
  
• Annette John-Hall | Antiviolence man-up shatters stereotypes
  
  
• 10,000 Men, the second act: After Sunday's huge rally, a few hundred came to an orientation yesterday in W. Phila.
  
  
• TROOPS REPORT

That so many answered the call is a testimony to the combination of frustration and hope that haunt the issue of neighborhood violence. I wish this effort well.
