Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Pinball machines; such as these in a Yonge St. arcade; are considered by some Metro politicians to be a corrupting influence on young people. But some politicians in financially-crippled New York see the machines as an innocent form of recreation - and a great source of tax revenue for a debt-ridden city.
