		<description><![CDATA[Kristin Sullivan woke at 1 a.m. Friday to the sound of dozens of police cars careening past her home on the border of Cambridge and Watertown in Massachusetts. “We are all jumpy after everything that happened at the Boston Marathon,” Sullivan said. “When the first suspect was apprehended, it was only a mile away from our house — right near the local hardware store.” That suspect was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in Watertown after a firefight with police. His brother Dzhokhar, the other main suspect in the bombings, escaped, setting off what Governor Deval Patrick called “a massive manhunt.” In his announcement Friday morning, Patrick said “we are asking people to shelter in place.&#8221; Life, for the time being, would have to be lived at home and under siege. By early Friday morning, the streets of Watertown and Cambridge were deserted, and life in Boston, a major American city, had ground to a standstill. Throughout the day, the media described residents complying with a “lockdown order,” but in reality the governor’s security measure was a request. (PHOTOS: Ghost Town: Users Share Photos of Boston on Lockdown) “The lockdown is really voluntary, to be honest with you,” says Scott Silliman, emeritus director of the Center on Law, Ethics and National Security at Duke Law School. “The governor said he wants to use sheltering in place. Sheltering in place is a practice normally used if you’re dealing with a pandemic, where you’re telling people, ‘You may have been exposed and we want you to stay exactly where you are so we can isolate everything and we’ll come to you.’” The “shelter in place” request is legally different from a state of emergency, which Patrick declared earlier this year as winter storm Nemo descended on the Bay State. Patrick imposed a travel ban, threatening a penalty of up to a year in prison and a large fine if people were found on the roads. Massachusetts suffered very few fatalities during the storm. When it came to keeping the public off the streets on<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=117220&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two hundred people were lined up at a hurricane relief center in a park in Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood on Sunday morning when three volunteers hoisted the banners of two enemy camps that had come together in an uneasy collaboration: the Occupy movement and the office of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. One of those helping hang the banners on white tents with duct tape was Red Hook resident Kirby Desmarais, 26, a band manager and volunteer with the local branch of Occupy Sandy, an effort launched the day after Hurricane Sandy devastated parts of the East Coast in late October. “I’m getting a little verklempt. This is a really big thing,” Desmarais said, looking at the two signs, using the Yiddish word for choked with emotion. One banner read, “Occupy Sandy Mutual Aid Not Charity.” The other, sent by the mayor’s office, read, “City of New York Distribution and Relief Center.” Behind the tents, volunteers unloaded boxes of meals ready to eat from a six-wheel National Guard truck. Red Hook residents, many of whom still lacked electricity in their homes, filed in to fill shopping carts with canned goods, batteries, candles and bottled water. Police officers looked on. Two officials from the Mayor&#8217;s Community Affairs Unit (CAU) soon appeared but declined to answer questions. Separate from the relief point, a hulking truck sent by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sat on the other side of the park, out of sight. (PHOTOS: Occupy Wall Street, One Year Later: Protesters Return to the Movement’s Roots) Before the hurricane, direct collaboration between Occupy activists and city authorities would have been unthinkable. It was a year ago this week that Bloomberg ordered an early-morning police raid that uprooted the Occupy Wall Street encampment from Zuccotti Park in the financial district, ending a weeks-long standoff. The eviction ended the potent first phase of the movement, which had captivated the media, inspired an international Occupy protest and resulted in numerous confrontations with police. The disbanding of protest camps across the country sent Occupy<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=93854&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In more than two decades of living in New York City, I am not sure I experienced a moment stranger than what happened during a Tuesday-night cab ride home from work. We were driving downtown on Fifth Avenue, past shuttered boutiques and crowds of meandering pedestrians, when, almost imperceptibly, everything went dark. At each corner, the ubiquitous streetlights and flashing walk signs winked no more. Instead, a city of shadows loomed on all sides, illuminated only by whirring police sirens and the spectral glow of red flares planted in the ground by local authorities. The sidewalks emptied out. My cab driver, who had been speaking to a friend on his Bluetooth, made a startled laugh and lifted up his phone. His reception had vanished. I checked my gadgets and found them all equally useless. (MORE: After Sandy: Scenes of Wreckage and Recovery) We had entered what is effectively Manhattan’s dead zone, where hundreds of thousands of residents are now in their third full day without electricity. It’s a vast swath of downtown that encompasses the city’s financial district and trendiest restaurants and is the center of New York City nightlife. It’s also where I — alongside my family and myriad friends and colleagues — live. New York City has always been a place of haves and have-nots, carved by divides both real and imaginary. It emerged as a global metropolis not just in the rise of its gilded quarters, tony boulevards and stately townhouses but in the swarming chaos of its slums, sweatshops and teeming tenements. Daily existence here is a journey through multiple New Yorks: entrenched ethnic neighborhoods and chic bourgeois melting pots, areas worn down by poverty and marginalization and others resplendent in their power and privilege. But ever since Hurricane Sandy’s storm surge on Oct. 29 flooded a major power substation on 14th Street, there are only two New Yorks: a city of light and a city of dark. In the first city, life after the hurricane is lurching fitfully back to normal. The power is on (in<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=91587&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
