Original Toronto Star caption: Michael Segal, the world's first billboard bard, likes to think in a big way - for instance, his poem currently on display at Yonge St. and Yorkville. Segal thinks publishing maybe 300 copies of a poetry book is absurd, especially since his poetry now reaches an estimated 40,000 people a day.

Well-Travelled, 80-year-old Joseph Caulder of Yonge St. holds map showing his travels around the world as a Rotarian. He's pointing to Buenos Aires, one of the many cities in which he spoke to Rotariars. He thinks 1924 convention here greatest.

Nobody likes hearing what Ted Delahay thinks - at least not right now, because the Canadian-born New York financial analyst and consultant expects a collapse. He says U.S. government probably will soon be backing price supports, rather than price cuts. Canada, he fears, is to receive an economic jolt.

Scott Craigie. To laymen they're known as window dressers. But aesthete Scott Craigie calls himself a display manager. As the man in charge of windows and in - store displays for exclusive Hazelton Lanes, Craigie creates ever-changing window fantasies for a dozen boutiques. Inspired by travel and unusual props - anything can be used as a prop, from newspapers to antiques - Craigie likes to create windows that draw attention to the merchandise without being distracting. [Incomplete]

World's dullest lecturer? No, when Michael Church's students doze off in his evening course on relaxation at Seneca College, that's proof of his success. Church says that virtually everyone has trouble handling stress.
