Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Pensive President: University of Toronto head Claude Bissell listens as 1,500 heckling students insist he back down on his recently announced battleplan to combat campus violence. Bissell refused to moderate his stand, then walked out of the meeting after an hour-long haranguing by radical student leaders.
