By hugging the left you can cut at least 25 yds. off your second shot, but it's a dangerous business because of trees on the left, and if you have a hook, forget it.

The Cairo daily al Gumhouriya, once a vehicle for anti-Faisal propaganda campaigns, observed last week: "The Arab nation can never forget his heroic stand during the October war, or that he launched the oil battle in support of the fighters in Sinai and the Golan, or the moral and material aid that he gave without limit to the front-line states."
