Detective Wambaugh is thorough. But he leaves, in fact, few clues as to his prime motive for re-creating what he calls "the most maddening case of any detective's life." One clue is buried midway in the book when Wambaugh tells of a certain "young vice officer" who strongly opposes the department's do-or-die dictum on survival as suicidal. However, that anonymous cop, who undoubtedly is Wambaugh, refuses to challenge his superiors at the time because "he lacked that kind of courage and he knew it." Now, with the courage of a rich...
...simply is not terribly relevant nor terribly helpful for medical school work. Thus, Bio 15a, Bio 10b, or Bio 21 are reasonable adjuncts to Bio 2. Biology should be deferred until sophomore year for two reasons: performance as a freshman in chem and math can give you a clue about which biology to enroll in (between Nat Sci 5 and Bio 2); and, unless you are intending to major in Biology, there is no rush to have a large number of biology courses.

...clue to what has happened lies in the amusement parks. They are clean, bright, and-to some specialists-models of sensible urban design. But their rides and electronic puppet shows are plasticized, sanitized pseudo experiences, pedestrian reductions of fantasies and adventures. They boggle the mind without stimulating it. The same is true of latter-day Disney movies, often set either in a small-town America entirely detached from what is left of that old reality or in a scrubbed-up version of a turn-of-the-century world that feeds the nation's nostalgia for what it fondly...
