Help! Calling for frost tonight!!

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

They've called for the possibility of frost tonight.  What can I do to 
protect my vegetable plants?  I don't have a plastic sheet nor do I have an 
old piece of cloth to use to cover them.

What I do have though is tons of newspaper.  Can anyone on this short notice 
tell me what part of the plant I should cover, and how I should cover it? Ie 
Just the base of the stem, or the entire plant?  Are there some that don't 
need to be covered, like the broccoli and spinach?

My tomato plants especially are beautiful, almost one metre high.  Should I 
cover them entirely, to be sure they'll be safe?  I don't understand how 
frost works, so if anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it!
