By this time, they had closed off access to the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Plaza. Normally, it stays lit until 11:30 PM; and, especially on a weekend night, the crowds around the tree are thick as flies. But last week they actually barricaded off the plaza surrounding the tree; there was only a sole security guard present, who's barely visible standing under the lower branches, for what meager protection they might have provided.
