Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Subway is noisy enough already; says 38-year-old Graham Gordon as he plugs ears aboard train yesterday; without commercials being blasted at passengers through system's public address unit. Most other riders agreed with him. Visual advertising in the subway is one thing; but audio advertising is something else altogether; says Gordon; a downtown antique dealer. it's almost an invasion of privacy.
