Armistice
tense in south Iraq
Shiite
militias withdrew from police stations in three cities
as the cease-fire held in Fallujah.

BAGHDAD, Iraq — As a tenuous cease-fire held Monday
in the restive Sunni city of Fallujah, a radical Shiite
cleric pulled his militiamen out of police stations in
three southern cities in an attempt to ease a standoff
with the United States.
With quiet on both fronts, the scale of Iraq’s worst
fighting since the fall of Saddam Hussein became clearer:
The military reported about 70 coalition troops and 700
Iraqi insurgents killed so far this month. It was the
biggest loss of life on both sides since the end of major
combat a year ago.

Price
of dorm life must drop
April

For
almost $3,000 a college student could take a Spring
Break trip to Hawaii — with a friend. A college
student could buy a rather large high-definition plasma
TV. Or, this college student could take his or her $3000
and spend it on a four-month stay at one of the luxurious
dormitories here at TCU.
