<DIV>Saigons Medusa-a fact known to Carlos-but he never shared in the riches
of the later, postwar Medusa. Thats the background scenario, isnt it?
The logics as clean as it can be. For three years he was used and
damn near killed in a black operation, and along the way he supposedly
discovered that more than a few undistinguished Saigon pricks were
driving Jaguars and were sailing yachts and pulling down six-figure
retainers while he went on a government pension. That could try the
patience of John the Baptist, to say nothing of Barabbas.
Its a terrific libretto, allowed Holland, a slow smile breaking
across his face. I can hear the tenors soaring in triumph and the
Machiavellian bassos slinking offstage in defeat. ... Dont scowl at me,
Alex, I mean it! Its really ingenious. Its so inevitable it became a
self-fulfilling prophecy.</DIV></BODY></HTML>
