Street Scene

In the spirit of multilingual direct actions of yesteryear, Translationista has issued a call for translators for the ongoing Wall Street protest in downtown Manhattan.  The NYT has relegated coverage -- including coverage of the NYPD using pepper spray at very close quarters on allegedly threatening protesters -- to its City Blog. (This is what we used to call "buried" in the halcyon days of dead tree media.)  Meanwhile Huffpost reports increasing interest on the part of NYC labor unions, as perhaps people begin to wonder if the torch-and-pitchfork march on the castle has been too long postponed.
