Lady Liberty's crown is freed up for visits again

Unfortunately, many will have to. Tickets sold out fast for the July 4 reopening of the Statue of Liberty's crown, which has been closed since shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Aaron Weisinger, 26, of Walnut Creek, Calif., was one of the lucky ones. He will be part of the first group of tourists in years to climb the 354 steps, 146 of them up a narrow spiral staircase, to stand atop the statue's head and peer from under the spikes of her crown.
