Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Penitent run: Marathoner Elaine Dembe was one of many women who took offence to a Frank Jones column that said most women aren't built for running. Dembe threatened 100 lashes of a sweaty job-bra and challenged Jones to a run. The challenge was (after a fashion) accepted.
