...explain who is doing what to whom, and why, in the four-team limp-off is a mystery even to the participants. When questioned, players squint into the middle distance, managers scuff the artificial turf, and fans in Winnie's, a watering hole on Crescent Street in Montreal, stare mournfully into their Molson's beer.

The scraggly-haired surfers shoulder their boards in the morning sun and scuff down the nearby path to their emerald waves, unmindful of Richard Nixon, who stirs beyond the fence in the skeletal complex that used to be the Western White House...
