      Image shows a President surrounded by a crowd of people in the streets.
      Warm welcome: Italian President Francesco Cossiga wades into crowds of well-wishes who mobbed him as he strolled along St. Clair Ave. W. yesterday, shaking hands and pinching children's cheeks. People who lines the sidewalks in the wind and drizzling rain waved Italian and Canadian flags and shouted greetings in both languages as they gave him a warm welcome to Metro.

      If looks could kill: A fuming motorist, battery booster cables in hand, stands beside his car stalled on Leslie Street at Sheppard Avenue, Toronto, Ontario in yesterday's storm, waiting and hoping that somebody will come to his aid. The storm battered Metro with snow, sleet and howling winds, turning streets into a sea of sludge.
