Bourne

By Chris Handal
Staff Writer
Suppose you awakened in
a strange room on an island
in the Mediterranean. And
worse, you do not know who
you are. Well, that's the
situation that Jason Bourne
finds himself in Robert
Ludlum's thriller, "The
Bourne Identity."
Ludlum, author of eight
I other novels including the
Matarese Circle,' which
topped the New York Times
Bestsellers List for 30

;';j America's most successful
authors. And once again,
that formula has produced
another thrilling novel.

isolated, he must defend
himself against a host of
killers. More often than not,
he has no idea who the
people are or why they are
after him. And to find out, he
must subject himself to even
greater danger.
Yet the use of this pattern,
does not make "The Bourne
Identity" a stale rehash of
Ludlum's earlier works. The
reason for this is obvious.
Ludlum is a gifted
storyteller who is able to get
the readers involved in the
book. And it's that involvement
by the readers
that makes his novels so
I popular. We identify with
Jason Bourne. We feel his
confusion as he searches for
who he is. We share Bourne's
amazement as he defends
with skills he didn't know he
had against assailants who
try to kill him. And we understand
his growing love
for the woman he has kidnapped
but who has become
I his willing companion.
Together they find clues to
the person Bourne really is.
Bourne's true identity is
somehow related to Carlos, a

they will head to Hilton
Head, S.C. to entertain on
the 18th hole at the opening
ceremonies of the Heritage
Golf Classic. This is the first
year Carolina Alive has
performed for this function.
In past years "Up With
People" has had this honor.
After a day at Hilton Head
the singers will return to
USC and follow a performance
of the Egyptian
Dance Troupe at a dinner
honoring Mrs. Anwar Sadat.
The group's greatest
variety of songs gives it
something of interest for all
audiences. Their repertiore
includes popular broadway,
novelty, and patriotic songs.
By adding choreography and
enthusiasm to the forty
voices, Conant and Joe
Chapman, arranger and
choreographer for the group,
bring a life to Carolina Alive
that audiences find exciting.

DURING THE THIRD year of operation,
the corsairs (another word for pirates not
used before) had a brilliant idea. They
started competition between the two stores,
alternately raising prices as people
scrambled between the two places to see
which gave a better deal. All the time this
was going on, the employees of both stores
were saying, "Ay."
Back at the home base of the Caribbean,
where the cool, clear water melts into the
hot sands of the golden beach, the "pirate
publishers," were laughing their skull and

keep buying volumes of textbooks with the
price now having risen to $147 for a
paperback version of "Spanish made easy
in 39 pages," or 5749 lor any single version of
Cliff Notes.
These publishing goons sat back in their
platinum thrones, stroking their velvet eyepatches
and snaggleteeth. When the creeps
wanted dinner, they'd order out: snails
flown from France; lobster from Iceland;
cheeseburgers from Spartanburg. Even
their slaves were millionaires who had their
own slaves, who made more money than the
president of the University of South
Carolina.
There's no real ending to this story. The
robbing is still going on today and the profits
are going to a place most people don't know
how to spell. The only way to stop them is
the way we used to deal with most buccaneers
; fire a cannonball into their place of
business and destroy them all. They'll
probably just say, "Ay."
