Councilor Saundra J. Graham incited the wrath of the Fundamental School's supporters by saying that allowing the Fundamental School to split from Cambridge Latin would set a precedent for the three other special schools connected with Cambridge Latin to do the same...
...outburst of presidential wrath at a televised press conference last week was no accident. It was a deliberate, carefully calculated tactic in Carter's fight to salvage his priority package of energy legislation, which is being gutted in the Senate.

She is held responsible for the havoc wreaked in this film; her partner in adultery is little more than a good-looking schmuck only too willing to cave in to his carnal desires...
