...house’s high-end status, such as Christine F. Matera ’11. “I’ve never heard of that,” she says. “That’s ridiculous!” Winthrop’s new housing rule, which no longer guarantees seniors “n+1” housing, has led its residents to fear the possibility of being sexiled well into their senior year. Some residents who are granted a stroke of luck prove this myth to be false...

...they have tried to find an iceberg." Human rights watchdogs, however, say the evidence presented at Fujimori's 16-month trial, held on a police base with judges presiding, is more likely the tip of the iceberg of abuse that occurred during the early years of Fujimori's authoritarian rule. The abuses "were committed as part of a broad, systematic policy of executions and forced disappearances that [Fujimori] ordered and carried out through intelligence services," charges Maria McFarland, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, based in New York City, who has followed the case from the start.
