Original Toronto Star caption: $3 Million worth of smiles. After signing a $3 million deal to play for the Toronto Northmen of the World Football League, Miami superstars (from left) Paul Warfield, Jim Kiick and Larry Csonka are all smiles. Behind them are their representative, Ed Keating, and Leo Cahill, general manager. But a spokesman for Health Minister Marc Lalonde says Ottawa still means to keep the WFL out of Canada and will introduce legislation to do it.
