Aggression seems truly to be the key to defusing the ticking time-bomb of yuppie angst.

...planned to use the profits from the lottery to bulk up the state's school budget. The voters? rejection of the referendum paints Alabama?s much-maligned education system into a tight corner: They?ve got dwindling funds and almost no hope of an infusion - Siegelman?s other key campaign promise was not to raise taxes...
