Feb. 17, 1957: Marines practiced with a staff padded with foam rubber at the Parris Island boot camp in South Carolina. The photo ran with an article about increased scrutiny of drill instructors after the deaths of six recruits during a disciplinary march. In April 1956,  a Parris Island drill instructor, Sgt. Matthew C. McKeon, led his platoon into the tidal waters of Ribbon Creek; some of the men could not swim, and six drowned. Photo: George Tames/The New York Times
