...faithful to prayer. Some of the minarets that rise above the city were bullet-ridden and broken, targeted by American guns aiming to kill any Iraqi insurgents who might be taking cover inside. Buildings throughout the city lay in smoldering ruins in the wake of days of U.S. tank assaults and air strikes. It is not surprising that a ferocious battle erupted in Fallujah--the heart of the so-called Sunni triangle, where those loyal to Saddam Hussein and his thuggish regime have made their most violent stands..

Sporting a red floral print skirt, tank top, and martini-glass-shaped sunglasses, Senior House regular Diana K. Bowen ’04 has been named a Senior Bar “All-Star” more than her fair share of times. The “All-Star” is an award bestowed upon those who “go above and beyond the call of duty” according to Valle (read: get really, really drunk). She is one of the first guests to arrive...
