For those of you who were excited and fascinated bv James
Michener’s novels HAWAII, THE SOURCE, SAYANARA, THE
| BRIDGES AT TOKI-RI, and THE CARAVANS, let me assure
■ you that you will not be disappointed by this master story
teller’s
latest book, THE DRIFTERS. James Michener’s
latest novel, narrated by a sixty year old American financier
■ who roams Europe and Africa in search of good investments,
follows six young adults as they travel in search of something
| else, presumably themselves. The time is very much the present
■ and along with the generic problems of youth, each young person
has a special set of circumstances with which to contend.
|
In selecting subjects for a group portrait, Michener seems
■ to have touched on all the bases. There is Joe, the idealistic
draft-evader; Cato, the black militant, passive at heart; Gretchen,
blue-stocking Boston folk-singer; Yigal, the serious Israeli
■ with wealthy American grandparents, who must decide his
nationality; Monica, pathetic drug addict daughter of a British
ex-colonial; and Britta, the Scandanavian beauty in search of
■the sun.
Michener lets his narrator, Fairbanks, give us each of their
case histories at length, along with the rather predictable cir-
■ cumstances of their departures from home. Then he sets up
an eighth character as a foil. Harvey Holt, ex-Marine hero,
resourceful technician in his forties, exemplifies Michener’s
view of the middle-aged American as disconcertingly naive
■ and narrow-minded, yet admirably imbued with courage, in
fl tegritv, and ultimate fairness.
—
Once Michener has assembled his characters in the lively
youth resort of Spain's Torremolinos, Michener packs them into
| a
VW bus and sends them on their trip through some pretty
■ interesting places. The people wander from Spain to Portugal.
back to Spain, and then on to the exotic scenes of Mocambique
| and Morocco. We go through the horrors of drug addiction in
■ North Africa, watch Cato, an incipient black Muslim, learn in
Mocambique how- active the Muslim slave-traders were, and
■ are impressed with the running of the bulls at Pamplona,
■ Spain.
It is an interesting trip and Michener is an entertaining as
■ well as knowledgeable guide. But there is more happening here
— than the matter of the generation gap. As Michener’s many
readers know, one of the great attractions of his story telling
■ art is his skill in setting creditable imaginary characters in
— actions in authentic backgrounds. This is a big story composed
of many stories—stories of danger and violence and courage,
■ of love, of racial and religious conflict, of the drug and rock
— sub-culture that many of the young have become involved with
and many of their elders concerned about.
■
This is one unified story even though my description may
— make it sound like a group of short stories. It is true that
Michener changes characters or adds new characters ap-
■ proximately every hundred pages. For one to understand the
— youth culture now, perhaps Michener’s approach is one of the
more pleasurable ways of viewing this culture from the arm
chair or the backyard chair as one of those steaks is broiling
for supper.

SPEAKING OF BOOKS
BARLEY
■
■
Listed are some of the
questions most frequently asked
by the nearly 330,000 veterans
in the State of Oregon con
cerning Federal benefits pro
vided for them through the
Veterans Administration.
- What is the maximum home
loan which may be guaran
teed under the G.I. Bill?
A - No maximum limit is es
tablished by law. The ve
teran’s income and ability to
make payments is the limit
ing factor.
- How large a down payment
is required on a G.I. loan?
- Generally, no down pay
ment is required.
- Who is eligible for medi
cal outpatient treatment?
A - To be eligible for out
patient treatment, a veteran
must have been discharged
or retired under conditions
other than dishonorable and
be in need of treatment for
disability incurred or aggra
vated in service; be a war
veteran with total and per
manent
service-connected
disabilities, be receiving aid
and attendance or housebound
allowance; be a Spanish-
American War veteran; or
be a disabled veteran train
ing under the Vocational Re
habilitation Act.
Q - How long do I have after
discharge to apply for den
tal treatment?
A - Generally, one year. How
ever, if you have service-
connected dental conditions,
were a prisoner of war, a
Spanish-American War vet
eran or a disabled veteran
training under the Vocational
Rehabilitation Act, there is
no time limit.
Q - If I elect to purchase the
new National Service Life
Insurance addition with my
dividends, must I pay pre
miums on this new insurance?
A - No future premiums are
required.
This is paid-up
insurance.
Q - May I purchase National
Service Life Insurance in an
amount greater than my 1972
dividend or the amount of
dividends on deposit?
- No.
- How does going to school
less than full time on the
G.I. Bill affect my entitle-
ment?
- Your entitlement is used
at the rate in which you are
paid.
For example, if you
receive pay as a half-time
student for a period of 12
months, you will have used
up six months of entitlement.
However, you must remem
ber that no payments may be
made for training beyond the
termination date of your en
titlement which is 8 years
after your separation or 8
years after the date the law
was effective. Veterans who
were separated prior to May
31, 1966,
cannot receive
benefits for training be
yond May 31, 1974.
