...than their predecessors had in eight months. Pantano recalls watching a convoy of Marine humvees pass his platoon. "We wave, then realize something is wrong. Tires and windows were shot out, blood was seeping through, out the bottoms of the humvees. Ten humvees had busted out of a kill zone but were shot to hell. There was one KIA, and nearly everyone else was wounded one way or another." Officers interviewed by TIME say that as the emphasis shifted from peacekeeping to combat, commanders issued new rules of engagement that gave the Marines much more latitude in deciding when...

With the Houses in each zone pooling resources, students would be assured that they would have a tutor to advise them in one of three Houses in their zone. At the same time, the new selection process would not detract from House life. Resident tutors are crucial to forming a distinctive community within each House, and in no way should the character of each House be homogenized. The zoning procedure, however, still gives Houses great autonomy, allowing them to maintain House personality, and at the same time, helping them better meet the academic needs of students. Furthermore, this new selection...
