Original Toronto Star caption: Speaking her piece: Pauline Shapero struggles to keep a grip on the microphone after being asked repeatedly to yield to other speakers in a question-and-answer session on rent control last night. More than 600 people, most 65 or older, jeered and booed Altorney-General Roy McMurtry at the meeting at Forest Hill Collegiate at which political parties outlined policies on rent control.
