...well prepared for a renewal of fighting as is Syria, since it has received relatively little new military equipment from the So^ viet Union since the end of the war/ Moreover, Sadat is allowing civilians to return to the cities along the Suez Canal that were turned into ghost towns by the 1969-70 war of attrition and is pressing ahead with plans for a longterm, $7 billion reconstruction of the Canal Zone.

...determined to stick it out. "I only wish this town would give me a little loyalty and support," he says. "I know that given a fighting chance, I can make this club a winner."
