  The BABAR experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC has collected
a large sample of data at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. I will summarize
BABAR's new results on CP violation, B mixing and lifetimes, and a selection of
rare B decays. In particular, I will describe in detail the measurement of the
CP violating parameter $\sin{2\beta}$; BABAR has observed CP violation in the
neutral B system finding $\sin{2\beta} = 0.59 \pm 0.14 \pm 0.05$.
