gathering in New York's Times Square to take part in the New Year's Eve
festivities last year. In the biggest public party in the country, nearly a
million revelers will cram into the streets of Times Square to watch the
ball drop on New Year's Eve, Friday. The party is also
remarkably crime-free, safe and orderly. (AP/Tina Fineberg, File)
