For Any And All Boston Readers

BY JASON ZENGERLE

Check out James Parker's ode to the Orange Line which ran in yesterday's Globe. I agree with all of it. My only quibble: Why no mention of Ruggles? Is there any other subway stop in the U.S. with a name that rolls off the tongue with as much zest as Ruggles?

Why no ode to the Green Line -- the oldest and consequentially slowest subway line in the United States?

The Green isn't slowest because it's the oldest, although that can't hurt. The Green is the slowest because, D line excepted, it stops every hundred feet.
