Big welcome

Original Toronto Star caption: Big welcome: A young fan surges on to the street to shake Ben Johnson's hand during his ride on a sports car down Bay St. Many in the cheering crowd sought his hand or his autograph. Thousands of people lined the streets in the downtown Toronto yesterday to welcome home the world's fastest human. Johnson shattered the world 100-metre sprint record last month in Rome. Said Toronto Alderman Fred Beavis: He is the fastest man in the world -- today, tomorrow, and forever.
