Original Toronto Star caption: Citizen William Allen reads his paper on the subway on his way to work. It's a change from a chauffeured car that used to take him around when he was Metro chairman, the job he gave up this year. Now that he's completely away from the pressure of Canada's biggest municipal job he finds he can look at the problems of the city with a detached attitude. When I get home now, I know that I can stay for a while, relax with my family and watch television.
