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...
...there have been earthquakes, and broad areas of permafrost and innumerable bogs where the ground heaves during the short summer thaw; pressure tests of the Siberian soil are conducted at an underground Permafrost Institute at Yakutsk. Some 3,700 bridges and culverts must be built across rivers and streams. Subway experts from Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev have helped drill tunnels (one of them 9.5 miles long) through seven mountain ranges...

Johnson, who keeps a good-sized chaw in his mouth before ballgames, hates to ride the subway to local contests because he can only exercise his nickname when the train stops and the doors open at various stations...
Having no expert to call on (they must all be out LOVING today) I'll just hazard my own guess: Hallmark's LOVE was conceived on a Manhattan subway car by a fat, bald, 35-year-old greeting card writer with thick glasses, a perspiring brow, a poster of Cheryl Tiegs on his closet door and a conscience burdened by the same aboriginal sins Alexander Portnoy complained about. In other words, the Grinch may have stolen Christmas, but somebody is trying to pervert Valentine...
