NEW YORK (AP) - Fight your way through the holiday hordes in Times Square this week and you will likely witness a record in the making.
Officials predicted Wednesday that 44 million people will have visited the city by the end of 2006, including some 1.25 million people this week alone.
The number surpasses last year's record total of 42.6 million and continues a crescendo of recovery since the tourism industry took a hit after the Sept. 11 attacks.
