Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Sea of signs: An estimated 10;000 cheering Liberals packed the Ottawa Civic Centre during the party's four-day convention to pick a new leader. Most clutched placards proclaiming their political allegiance; turning the centre's floor into a seething mass of color that entranced television viewers at home; but sometimes left harried delegates jostling for breathing space.
