...country this brilliant, aggressive and fiercely devoted soldier would stand out as a talented strategist. The mastermind behind Egypt's assault on the formidable Bar-Lev Line on the east side of the Suez Canal, Shazli, 52, has long awaited his chance to prove the Arabs' military prowess. Educated at the Egyptian military academy and trained in the Soviet Union, he has been an officer since the first Palestine war of 1948.

He carries hundreds of detailed mental charts - yet contrives to move through 2,000 lbs. of enemies. He shows individual prowess - and attempts to mesh with the movements of ten other egomaniacs. He is battered, flattened, ridiculed - and still plays on, as much for the audience as for himself. (After all, who ends up paying for those $70,000-a-minute commercials - and those $100,000 bonuses?) In the process...
...reasonable, recommended beginning program for freshmen with little AP exposure in math or chemistry is Nat Sci 3 and Math 1 or Math Ar. More than two premedical courses as a freshman is unwise unless you are not only confident about your academic prowess in the sciences, but also have demonstrated facility in sciences. Such demonstrated facility would include previous excellent work in secondary school in chemistry, physics, mathematics; APs in chemistry, physics, math or biology; or, superhigh math SAT scores (over 700-750) with considerable exposure to the sciences in secondary school...
