Every year the nation gathers to watch New York City's trademark event: the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Marching bands from all over the country, floats featuring Broadway's biggest stars, giant balloons carried by hundreds of volunteers . . . and somewhere a madman holding two children captive.
