...thousand troops-including miniskirted Women's Army Corps members carrying submachine guns -marched briskly along the city's ancient streets. More than 400 aircraft, led by Air Force Commanding General Mordechai Hod in a Phantom fighter-bomber, roared overhead in precision formations; in one configuration, twelve Mirage fighters formed a Star of David. On the heavily guarded reviewing stand were President Zalman Shazar, Prime Minister Golda Meir, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Chief of Staff David Elazar...
...will be lit in towns and villages throughout the country, and the Israelis will treat themselves to a night of entertainment, street dancing and fireworks. Next day a military parade five miles long-Israel's first in five years-will snake for hours through the streets of Jerusalem. Overhead, more planes (the exact number is classified) will fly above the historic city than have ever been gathered in the region before. One group of Mirages will form a Star of David.

But after ascending last fall to the group vice presidency in charge of all car and truck production, DeLorean became visibly unhappy. As had been his wont, he showed up late...
...with awesome precision. Two groups landed on the luxurious western edge of the city. One group raced across a wide sandy strip known as Dead Man's Beach (because of the strong undertow in front), scaled a 40-ft. embankment and rendezvoused with three of the rented vehicles. Overhead, a sign atop the Beirut International Hotel serenely went on winking its ad for the " 1,000 and One Nights" supper club. The second Israeli group splashed ashore on a narrower beach half a mile away, clambered up a rocky incline and found three more rented cars...
