#1 Campaigners sat under the tracks of army tanks deployed around the square, fearful that any movement by the military could be designed to drive out the protesters or abandon them to the mercy of pro-regime thugs

#2 Let the activists have the square. Anybody who has a job and wants to keep it will at some point have to go back to work. And so it seems the game is not over.
