“ Figuring out why New York City subway trains seem to be playing Leonard Bernstein proves a much more difficult task. Juan Harvey, a messenger waiting yesterday at the 66th Street station, said he has heard the song and believed it is ”some kind of a plot by the Japanese to brainwash us all.” This would be an intriguing line of inquiry, except that the new No. 2 trains are manufactured by a Canadian company called Bombardier. Informed of this, Mr. Harvey said that he did not think the Canadians would want to brainwash us. ”
