Marine officers say they aren't surprised by the insurgents' resilience. "I know this counterinsurgency is frustrating," Major Dan Williams tells members of Fox Company after another fruitless day of chasing enemy fighters. "But you've almost had insurgency Darwinism. All the stupid ones are dead." The Marines aren't getting much help in their efforts to outsmart their adversaries.

...Rosty's Scandal House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski was beset with new questions about alleged improper financial dealings. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the Democrat's payroll included ghost employees who either did not work for him or had not done so in years. The wife of a Chicago alderman, for instance, reportedly received a salary for five years after quitting her job in 1987. Rostenkowski is already under investigation by a federal grand jury for allegedly trading free stamps for cash at the House Post Office and allegedly using campaign funds and his office account...
