Recent data on central Si+Au collisions at 15{ital A} GeV are shown to imply an expectedly high degree of nuclear transparency. The paucity of observed midrapidlity protons and pions suggests that up to one half of the projectile nucleons may lose less than one unit of rapidity after traversing 5--10 fm of nuclear matter.
