...realize a reporter was present. McBride was a big advocate of the amendment, making education the centerpiece of his campaign. But Bush was able to attack McBride's inability to explain how he would pay for the costly measure. Bush predicted McBride would be forced to raise taxes tenfold. But elections never seem to have clear results in Florida. Voters reelected Bush because of his stand that he wouldn't raise taxes, but also voted for the amendment, which will make it extremely difficult for him not to. That's part of the problem with ballot initiatives. A smaller class...
...invasion of Iraq could bring a tenfold increase in U.S. forces scattered across tiny Gulf kingdoms such as Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain.

In 1980, the ten highest compensated U.S. executives had an average annual pay package of $3.4 million, but by 2001 that had skyrocketed to an average of $155 million - and this while the typical American household in the middle quintile barely stays ahead of inflation...
...slaughterhouse get you to entertain thoughts of vegetarianism. The death of Princess Diana also made paparazzi a dirty word for a while. The profession has recovered, but Galella thinks that the golden age of the paparazzi is behind us. In terms of sheer numbers, the breed has multiplied tenfold since Galella started in the mid-1960s. But the stars and their handlers have fought back, punishing publications that run unflattering pictures by denying them access...
