"Occupy Wall Street protesters clogged streets and tied up traffic around the United States yesterday to mark two months since the movement's birth and signal they aren't ready to quit, despite the breakup of many of their encampments by police. Hundreds of people were arrested, most of them in New York.
The demonstrations - which took place in cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Boston, Washington and Portland, Oregon - were for the most part peaceful. Most of the arrests were for blocking streets, and the traffic disruptions were brief."
