Who did you see on the Green Line?

"Berger listened patiently, and then he said, 'You can come to see me, but' — and here he spoke with heavy emphasis — 'it sounds like you have read my books...and I haven't thought of anything new.' That remark did its work. I never forgot it, and I didn't call Berger for another twenty years, though I did think that I saw him once on the Green Line at the Copley station, looking more or less as he had on the back cover of Facing Up to Modernity: bald, with a brown cigarillo, like a bookie lost in thought."
— "Says Who? Peter Berger's Secret," by Abraham Socher, in Liberal and Illiberal Arts: Essays (Mostly Jewish). Philadelphia: Paul Dry Books, 2022. pp. 149–150.

For more ghosts that may or may not have been spotted on the Green Line at Copley, see my novel: Most Famous Short Film of All Time.
