The New York City police began clearing Zuccotti Park of the Occupy Wall Street protesters about 1 a.m. Tuesday, saying the camp would be “cleared and restored” before the morning and that any demonstrator who did not leave would be arrested.

Thomson was among a small handful of public figures whose names have resonated most strongly with me through nearly my entire life.
