Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Metro Afghans mark the withdrawal of Soviet troops from their homeland with a parade of cars on Univeristy Ave. yesterday. The celebration included a rally of more than 200 demonstrators at the Princes' Gates. I feel like flying in the sky; shouted one Afghan; who fled the nine-year war three months ago for Canada.
