...with a 40-pound pumpkin in each hand. Shelburne Farm 106 West Acton Road, Stow Pros: “Pick-your-own” policy provides an excellent selection of pumpkins at this traditional pumpkin patch. For the adventurous, Shelburne Farm offers hayrides, pony rides, tractor rallies, and a moon bounce. Cons: Screaming kids on ponies. Some people would rather someone else pick their pumpkins for them. Plus, it takes 40 minutes to get there. By car.

...regardless of what the capital's average citizens might think, the meeting is viewed with deadly seriousness by the Party, which choreographs every detail with an obsessiveness that makes a moon landing look sloppy. Tens of thousands policemen and other law enforcement officers are a visible sign of their precautions; other preparations have been continuing for months.
