Original Toronto Star caption: Get me to the church on time! Leaving this 23-year-old groom-to-be in Nathan Phillips Square; with hands bound; legs manacled to Henry Moore's sculpture; the Archer; started off as a stag party gag last night. But; it took the combined efforts of two friends; four policemen and seven firemen to free him. One leg-iron was finally unlocked; other had to be cut away. The wedding is two weeks away.
