BY WAY OF DECEPTION 139between executives and shareholders, the duties <strong>of</strong> a boardchairman, how the stock exchanges work, preparing overseascontracts, shipping goods C.O.D. or F.O.B., everything we neededto understand how a company works when we were using it as acover for operations. This business course ran the entire length <strong>of</strong>our last term, with two-hour lectures at least twice a week, as wellas numerous tests and papers to be completed.<strong>By</strong> now, Itsik had embarked on a new exercise teaching us how tooperate an agent down to the last detail. In a new twist, oneexercise showed us how to assassinate an agent who had goneastray, if we were in a situation where we could not rely onMetsada to send in the kidon unit for the job.
