Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Considered by many to be the world's greatest living poet, W. H. Auden yesterday participated in the fourth annual Canadian Seminar in Irish Studies at the University of Toronto and had a delightful run-in with communications expert Marshall McLuhan on television. Auden, 63, calls it a terribly wicked medium.
