Start your adventure at 7 p.m. on Easter Sunday at the Harvard Square subway station. Take the second train four stops, and then switch to the line that is the color of grass, heading in the direction of the Club's place of origin. Get off when you hear French-Canadian accents, and enter the building next to the subway entrance (Boston Garden). Then watch what should be a helluva hockey game between the big bad Bruins and the peerless Montreal Canadians. It you can't get tickets for this clash you can see the Bs take on the Pittsburgh...

Gnomes might be a great gift book when Easter rolls around, but unless you have $15 to burn, sit tight and wait for the paperback version. Gnomes has great promise, but simply comes up short...
...objectionable." Fumed one priest: "Ash Wednesday is a religious symbol that needs to be preserved even if it hurts business." So much for symbolism. Munich's Fasching organizers canceled masquerades after Ash Wednesday. But other balls and celebrations will go on until March 5, just three weeks before Easter...
