The D.C. police are old hands at crowd control, but they never went
this far before. They never boosted their arsenal with a weapon as
tricky and volatile as a great big shiny silver chain-link monster
anti-protester peace device, a fence designed to keep
globalization-haters from getting at globalizers among the bankers and
trade ministers gathering at the World Bank and the International
Monetary Fund.

Depending on what part of the country you're from, you might know it
as a cyclone fence or a hurricane fence. Pick your storm.

The fence will be nine feet tall. It will have a perimeter of 2 1/2
miles. It will enclose 220 downtown acres and block 27 streets,
according to preliminary plans. Corralled will be: the White House,
parts of Foggy Bottom and George Washington University, four apartment
buildings, a church, dozens of stores, restaurants and offices.
