...criminal investigation, which will probably produce charges against Marines for committing slayings, is expected to extend into the summer. Three months after TIME published the first account of the incident, new details about the events leading up to the fateful morning in Haditha have shed light on why a small group of Marines apparently abandoned all semblance of self-restraint in a deadly burst of vengeance. But other questions are likely to remain--about who bears ultimate responsibility for the killings, about other possible incidents of military misconduct in Iraq and about whether the U.S. can do anything to stop...
...started to scale the walls. In a matter of seconds, the six had climbed onto the fourth-floor balcony to the visible shock and frustration of a few students hidden behind piles of library books. With that, the night had begun. By 6 a.m., another group of students had shed their headphones and shirts in favor of computer speakers and a topless dance party.

Most are rigid in their approach, sure that their method works and often wary of the advice...
...boats have amassed seven Sprints championships, including three consecutive wins for the varsity from 2003 to 2005. Now, however, the Harvard varsity finds itself in an all-too familiar place but with an altogether new label at this year’s Sprints: that of underdog, one Harvard had shed in time to take the No. 1 seed into Sprints a year ago. The 2005 squad blitzed the field during the dual season to snatch the No. 1 ranking in the weeks before Sprints.This dual season was less dominant and more tumultuous, marked both by brilliance in bad weather...
