Original Toronto Star caption: Vancouver's West End; seen from across English Bay; is one of the finest collections of apartment towers ever developed; writes Gerald Utting. But its east-end slums are poor and ugly; a symbol of the polarization that occurred in the recent election over fears of government intervention. In foreground; MacMillan Planetarium.
