PERPLEXED--William Phillis, Executive Director of the Ohio Coalition for Equity & Adequacy of School Funding, exits the Rhodes Tower after picking up the latest Supreme Court school-funding decision, in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2001. After twice ruling in favor of Phillis' group, the court, in a 4-3 decision, ruled that even though more money was needed to meet constitutional muster, they were terminating their role in the dispute. When asked for one word to describe how he felt about the court's decision, Phillis replied "perplexed." (Photoj.com/Jack Kustron)
