...police arrested 17 protesters who were part of a group that seized three empty Victorian houses for several hours. Some cities have reacted to the winter plight of the homeless by opening doors that are usually shut after 5 o'clock. Washington's city council last week authorized the use of municipal buildings, including the city hall, as overnight shelters when the temperature falls to 25 degrees.
