More clear writing from the nation's CRUSADING PRESS:Hundreds of newly arrived National Guard troops patrolled the lawless streets of New Orleans yesterday, beginning the task of wresting control from thugs and looters and restoring order in a city that had all but surrendered to death and disorder after Hurricane Katrina. Their numbers were unknown, but the head of the city's emergency services said there were only about a thousand, far fewer than needed. "Their," of course, refers to the "National Guard troops"; but with the lazy construction of this graf it could just as well describe the "thugs and looters," of whom a thousand probably would be far fewer than needed.
