...requirements for admission to medical school include one year of biology with lab, two years of chemistry with lab, one year of physics with lab, and one year of mathematics. In general, AP courses taken in secondary school may not be counted; most states require the five premedical courses in college before licenses to practice medicine can be issued. Don't plan on anything less than five years of science and math as listed above.

It is a promising theme, particularly when suggested by the work of an author who left a religious order to write fiction. · R.Z. Sheppard
...first time in years, Japan is running a significant deficit in its balance of payments, and its lopsided trade surplus with the U.S. - which has sorely strained relations between the two countries - is diminishing. Says William D. Eberle, the demanding chief U.S. trade negotiator with Japan: "The trade imbalance ap pears to have peaked and is beginning to go down." By happy coincidence Washington reported last week that in April the U.S. showed its first trade sur plus in 18 months...
