On a tour to Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia Terrace residents'Teresa Unger and her husband Len Winter had an opportunity to spend a day on a 50 foot boat and participate in a fish picnic. Spending Sunday on the water seemed like a good idea, so on Sept. 8, we went for a Fish Pic- nic, on the 50 foot boat Perica, Dubrovnik. We sat on benches in. the bow, and enjoyed the sun and sea breeze to Lopud, the third island north of Dubrovnik. A voluptuous young mother of two, standing forward in the bow, acted as our figurehead, keeping all eyes forward. Presumably the attrac- tion was her teeny bikini clinging precariously to her ample form and not the perfect blending of sun, sea and shoreline. After a brief visit, we headed for the second island, Kolocep, where we were to have our Fish Picnic. A yacht of West German registry was tied to our slip, so there was much tooting of horns, circling and sign language before we docked. It was a lovely spot, set on a point of land, well above the water, with tables set amongst the shade trees. After a lunch of soup, salad, fish and local wine, we went to the rocks to sunbathe, while most people stayed and played games organized by the guides. Our “Lady of the Bow” and her swarthy Latin husband were the life of the party. She displayed, much to her husband’s pride, her talents as a scintillatingly sensuous dancer. In the late afternoon we set sail for Gruz harbor. Upon arrival, we again found another boat tied to our dock, the earlier performance was repeated and then we 1 thee ea ora were back on shore. It was delightful to spend the day in the sun and on the sea. At Dubrovnik, Mt. Srdj rises steeply from the sea to its summit. — The cable car station is just outside the walls, near the Ploce Gate. On Monday Sept 9, we decided to take the cable car to the old Napolenonic Fort. On our map it looked easy to take a short cut from our hotel to the cable car terminus, but we found that many streets were walkways, with innumberable steps, and streets that seemed to go through, deadend- ed. After climbing and then descending half of the stairs in Dubrovnik, we arrived at the ter- minal. As the cable car lifted above the city, the panorama unfolded. The walled city below, the newer section around, spilling down to Gruz " Lopud — the Franciscan Monastery be ned a ete Thy te eee , Harbor, Lapad and fur- ther away the new hotel development at Babin Kuk (old Lady’s Hill). As we disembarked, we saw a wall of flame rapidly burning its way through trees and bush on the hill southeast of Mt. Srdj. The constant water bomber drops seemed insignificant. The fire a week before our arrival, had burnt its way to the Dubovnik air- port and destroyed one small building and closed the airport for a short while. On many trips, we saw the ravages of forest fires. A flight of stairs and we were at Fort Imperial. . Napoleon was the first to conquor Dubrovnik. Through centuries of war and strife they re- tained their freedom, with agreements: and’ payment of tribute; becoming famous not only as master traders, but also as diplomats. From this vantage point, one could no only con- trol the area as Napoleon and others had desired, but also enjoy some spectacular sights.

Teac evi — Wes The hilis behind Oubrovnik, ablaze with forest fires, from Mt. Srdj. Books for adults Eleanor Arroway, the director of Project Argus, controls a system of 131 telescopes which slowly scan the sky searching for some pattern in the radio emis- sions from the universe, a pattern that would suggest communication. It is Eleanor that is the first to realize that a message has been sent and must be decoded. ; by Andrea Deakin Terrace Reviewer Carl Sagan’s Contact (General Publishing: $25.95) is not only about this initial contact, but even more, about the way we contact and deal with each other. Once the sought-for communication has been receiv- ed Dr. Arroway finds herself caught up in political and religious disarray. Politicians fear the message as a threat, some theologians treat it as a threat; disciplines and authorities are divided against themselves. The turmoil expresses our problems in working together as a species, how can we work together with another. In a moving way Eleanor is the epitome of man as her tife is profoundly changed by her experience and she reaches out to scientific and religious understan- ding deeper than she has known before. Carl Sagan has woven a fascinating story that excites in its scien- tific vision and moves in its: understanding of our in- securities and failings. The Endless ' Game Ten years ago Caroline Oates was captured in East Berlin, drugged, tortured and drained of informa- tion, Returned in an exchange, she is now no more than a vegetable, unable to talk, an invalid in a wheelchair in a nursing home. Why then have the KGB killed her? M16 and Caroline’s former lover, Hillsden, are perplexed not’only by her death, but by why it should happen now, years after she has been of value to either side. There is a connection that they are missing. Hillsden sets out to find the answer and the killer; only to find himself involved in a con- vulated investigation, a thread constantly turning back on itself. The story takes place against the bleak backdrop: of a Britain rocked by social unrest and violence. Bryan Forbes has served in British Intelligence and his experience makes ‘‘The Endless Game” (Rnadom House: $22.50) a convincing and engrossing spy thriller. One that puts Forbes amongst the top writers of the genre. The Mammoth Hunters The success of Jean Auel’s ‘Clan of the Cave Bear” and “The Valley of Horses’’ lies in the skill with which she has woven a depth of research into the fabric of her narrative, and the care she has taken to understand and empathize with her characters. To read the tales is to gain a real understanding of what life must have been like for our ancestors, and to ap- preciate the qualities and weaknesses of both Cro- magnon and Neanderthal. The portrait has to be im- aginary but it is based on the most careful study of the available evidence, a research which gives the story a solid framework, but one which Is gracefully carried.
