Occupy protesters coordinate in marches nationwide

NEW YORK (AP) — Demonstrations of Occupy Wall Street protesters popped up from coast to coast today to mark two months since the movement’s birth in a lower Manhattan park. Dozens of protesters were arrested by midday near Wall Street in New York, while hundreds of protesters marched in the financial district in Los Angeles. A few hundred demonstrators paraded through lower Manhattan for several hours this morning, and about 50 to 60 were arrested as they thronged intersections near the New York Stock Exchange, brokerage houses and banks.
