Love, who was often criticized for vacillation, was thunderstruck to learn of his demotion late last week, when he was called into the White House and shown an organization chart with Simon's name on top.

Be sure to stand at the window in the front of the train next to the engineer's compartment so you can look right out on the tracks. You can chart rising land values by looking at how close new subdivisions come to the trestle--the closer the homes, the more expensive the lots are for the builder. The trestle height offers excellent views of North Church, North Station and the Prudential development...
