...less work to grade, and win points. THis chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably worth a good extra five points if you can hack it. But above all, keep us entertained. Keep us awake. Be bold, be personal, be witty, be chock full of facts. I'm sure you can do it all without studying if you try. We did.

At its bottom line, the proposal promised to halve the nation's deficit by 1996, an assessment many considered sober and even courageous because it backed off Clinton's earlier intention to wipe out the red ink entirely by the end of his first term.
