The day turned more amicable as police orchestrated a good-natured arrest of some 400 demonstrators who wanted to cross a barricade and be taken into custody.
About 600 arrests made in D.C.

Police, protesters negotiate peacefully
WASHINGTON—Police clubbed demonstrators and dispersed then with pepper spray outside world finance meetings yesterday but then quietly negotiated final arrests after three days of confrontation.
The demonstrators disrupted the government's workday and private business in the capital, but failed to shut down the meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
"Give yourselves a hand," Terry Galner, executive assistant police chief, told the crowd, which filed through the barricade a dozen at a time.
Police negotiated for an hour with protest organizer Mary Bull before proceeding with the arrests.
He gave Bull some flowers and then placed her under arrest.
The protesters were charged with unlawful assembly and crossing police lines. About 600 arrests were made yesterday, not all so peacefully, making a total of more than 1,300 since the protests began.
Marchers accused the bank and IMF of imposing crushing debts on poor nations, destroying the environment and perpetrating a host of other ills.
Confrontations developed yesterday around the din of traffic as Washingtonians went to work.
Tear gas wafted into the crowd as an officer tossed what he mistakenly thought was a smoke canister police said.
Some government buildings and shops never opened. When several hundred demonstrators came within a block of the IMF and menaced a police car, officers responded with pepper spray and smoke canisters.
Protesters were chased down, clubbed and about 90 were arrested.
Even so, some protesters said police were more restrained than during the destructive demonstrations in Seattle against the World Trade Organization last fall.
Police Chief Charles Ramsey said most demonstrators were "just kids with a cause."
Defending the heavy police presence, he said: "We didn't lose the city. So far as I'm concerned, it was worth it."
While many streets were normal, parts of the capital resembled a city facing a coup d'état. Riot police marched up main streets in squads of a dozen, blocks were sealed with metal barriers and about 70 National Guard troops in camouflage guarded the World Bank and IMF.
Secret test site photos available online
The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. — The truth is out there — on the Web. Photos of Area 51, the super-secret Air Force test site in Nevada that has long tanzanized UFO and conspiracy buffs and fans of The X-Files, are being posted on the Internet.
"This is the first glimpse into the most secret training and testing facility for the Air Force," said John Hoffman, president of Aerial Images Inc. of Raleigh.
The company planned to post five images of the site, divided into four frames each, in collaboration with Microsoft, Kodak, Digital Equipment Corp., Autometric Inc. and the Russian agency Sovinformsputnik.
The partners launched a Russian satellite from Kazakhstan in 1998 to map Earth's surface and Area 51. An open-skies agreement signed in 1992 by 24 nations, including the United States and Russia, made the effort possible.
The Air Force only recently
acknowledged that Groom Dry Lake Air Force Base even exists. The 8,000-mile base is 75 miles northwest of Las Vegas, in the arid, rugged Nellis Range.
Beginning with the U-2 spy plane in the 1950s, the base has been the testing ground for a host of top-secret aircraft, including the F-117A stealth fighter and B-2 stealth bomber.
The base's airspace is restricted; aircraft are not allowed to fly above it. But satellite overflights are allowed as part of an agreement to verify arms-control compliance.
Among UFO afticionados, it has long been known simply as Area 51, the base's designation on old Nevada test site maps. They believe that unidentified flying objects from other worlds are hidden at the base, where their parts are copied for U.S. prototypes.
The images are better than earlier telephoto shots from the nearby mountains. The only other known image purportedly was shot by a satellite in the 1960s. It is much fuzzi-
er.
Several government agencies are aware of the images and haven't responded, Hoffman said.
An Air Force representative would not comment yesterday on any security concerns about the images.
Aerial Images, at www.terraserver.com, planned to offer a link to the Area 51 page. Viewing the images is free; downloading them costs $8.95 and up. Kodak will print photographs for $20 to $30.
The images show craters, some seemingly formed by something dropped from the sky, others possibly by something coming out of the ground. There are hundreds of buildings, living quarters, tennis courts, a baseball field, a track and a swimming pool.
There are no paved roads and no parking lots; buses are the only visible vehicles, raising the question of how employees get to and from work. Unpaved roads disappear into cliffside, suggesting a possible underground network.
