The News: Spring is in the Air and Protesters Are on Wall Street

If you're on Wall Street today and you hear an unusual amount of noise outside, it's probably from the 10,000 people organizers hope will show up to let you know how they're annoyed they are. The march -against federal bank bailouts and for more jobs - is scheduled to run from 4 to 6 p.m., according to the website of one of the organizers, the AFL-CIO.

Yesterday, unions staged similar, though smaller, protests in Chicago and San Francisco.
