Most nonprofessional killings are impulsive-done in a flash of anger triggered by a minor insult or a quarrel over money, love or sex. Many are committed by people who, Sociologist Stuart Palmer says, "tend to be overconforming most of the time"-which may help to explain their extreme violence when their rebellious impulses finally break out. Often the killer does not intend to kill; in at least 20% of the cases, he is acting in self-defense...
Frustration frequently touches off aggressive behavior. It can take many forms, and often arises from a feeling of physical, social or intellectual inferiority.

Apparently miffed over the near eviction of his driver-valet for not wearing the proper badge during a practice round, Trevino gave the clubhouse wider berth than a curl-lipped bunker. Nicklaus, of course, could...
Harvard has been bothered this season by its lack of practice on clay. It's one win was inside, and it has been practicing inside on the hard courts of Palmer Dixon building. However the match this afternoon will be on hard courts--to the Crimson's advantage...
