About 200 anti-nuclear protesters were arrested in a demonstration at the Nevada Test Site, authorities said. The protest was organized in observance of what would have been the 90th birthday of Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Workers movement. A crowd estimated at 450 turned out for the demonstration near the gates to the nation’s nuclear testing grounds. Most of those arrested were cited for crossing a cattle guard on the road leading to the test site near Mercury, Nev. Others were arrested for lying down in the road, crawling through barbed wire fences and walking onto the barren desert site. In recent months, protesters arrested on trespassing charges have simply been cited, booked and released.
