Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Society's treatment of senior citizens is an obscenity, 75-year-old Moses McKay, spokesman for the Canadian Council of Retirees, told a royal commission on pensions yesterday. I would go so far as to say that society's treatment of many senior is . . . a form of euthanasia.
