Original Toronto Star caption: Scarborough welcomes Gentle Ben. Ben Johnson, the fastest man to ever run on the face of the earth, takes a quiet moment last week as he returned in glory from Rome, where he set a world record in the 100-metre race. His Scarborough neighbors lined his street with fluttering yellow ribbons to honor him.
