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
<<ihiatinn thnf Tncnn Rnnmo
finds himself in Robert
Ludlum's thriller, "The
Bourne Identity."
Ludluin, author of eight
other novels including the
'Matarese Circle,' which
topped the New York Times
Bestsellers List for 30
consecutive weeks, has once
again followed the formula
Knf Ur?? UI '
inai uao iiiauv mill ui
America's most successful
authors. And once again,
that formula has produced
another thrilling novel.
PUT SIMPLY, the Ludlum
formula takes the main
character and places him
beyond the help of any
organized law force. Once
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
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 un
derstand his growing love
for the woman he has kidnapped
but who has become
his willing companion.
Together they find clues to
the person Bourne really is.
Bourne's true identity is
somehow related to Carlos, a

On Monday, the company
will perform in Jacksonville
at an assembly for the
students of Terry Parker
High School. From there
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 reDertiore
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.

performed in Romania and
Mexico. Nearer home, the
members of the group have
performed in Washington,
DC., Nashville, and New

their time is spent serving
people right here in
Columbia. Their audiences
often include state political

as people such as former
U.S. Vice-President Walter

of energy James Edwards,
and actress Helen Hayes.
Carolina Alive gives interested

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,

These publishing goons sat back in their

wanted dinner, they'd order out: snails

There's no real ending to this story. The

the way we used to deal with most buccaneers
