Notations For the Week-End (II): On the Eve of the March for Unity in #Paris

On the eve of the March for Unity in Paris, we here @ #Outsiders continue to be amazed at the stories of courage in the midst of such horror.   The last reports we've reviewed note that hundreds of thousands will join the call by the French Government to march in Paris--as marches have continued throughout France.
