For several successive nights, demonstrators have attempted to protest in Union Square, under the watchful eyes of police who are determined not to let a new encampment arise.

Occupy leaders and supporters have been gathering quietly at meetings throughout the area, planning a spring offensive and a "general strike" for May 1.

The goals of the movement remain vague--"getting the money out of politics," "creating community," and the like--but the hippie/anarchist aesthetic of the protests is well-practiced.
