i , May 3, 1968 Mr. Bishop: J ■ | , _1 RE:" BOOKS BY IAN FLEMMING '' AUTHOR OF THE JAMES BOND SERIES « ■ - • i i i11 I 1.. ] i *** ™ Pursuant to Mr. DeLoach's instructions, we have checked the February, 1968, edition of "Paperbound Books in •: j Print," as well as the 1967 edition of "Books in Print," and have ■ j.' determined that Ian Flemming is the author of the following 18 J books: 1. Casino Royale 10. Man With The Golden Gun 2. Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang 11. Moonraker 3. The Diamond Smugglers 12. More Gilt-Edged Bonds 4. Diamonds Are Forever 13. Octopussy 5. Doctor No 14. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 6. For Your Eyes Only 15. Spy Who Loved Me 7. From Russia With Love 16. Thrilling Cities 8. Goldfinger 17. Thunderball 9. Live & Let Die 18. You Only Live Twice In connection with the Martin Luther King case, there has been some speculation that James Earl Ray concocted the alias of Eric Starvo Galt by combining the names of characters from Ian Flemming books and from the book "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. This speculation is based upon the fact that in Ian Flemming's series of James Bond books, an individual named Ernst Stavro Blofeld is one of the most formidable adversaries who confronts James BoncL Ernst Stavro Blofeld, for example, appears in "Thunderball," "On her Majesty's Secret Service" and elsewhere in the James Bond series. It will be noted, however, that there is a significant difference between Eric Starvo Galt and Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Ayn Rand's book "Atlas Shrugged" was published in 1957 and is more than 1,100 pages long. The book begins on page 1 with the question, "Who is John Galt?" (Galt is characterised in this book as a Enclosures (14) . K* y H3 g?t/~ 3/S'O 1 - Mr. DeLoach g-,' 1 - Mr. Bishop \AjV M. A. Jones to Bishop Informal Memo RE: BOOKS BY IAN FLEMMING social "drop-oul"--a person who has withdrawn from society because he resents the "leeches" who habitually take from, but do not contribute to, the body politic.) It is interesting to note that a person named Eric Starnes also is mentioned in "Atlas Shrugged. " On 321 of this book, a chief of police in Louisiana is quoted as stating as follows about the Starnes family: "There's all sorts of human beings to see in the world, there's murderers and criminal maniacs--but, somehow, I think these Starnes persons are what decent people shouldn't have to see. They're a bad sort.. .Yes, they're still here in town—two of them, that is. The third one is dead. Suicide. That was four years ago. Its an ugly story. He was the youngest of the three, Eric Starnes. He was one of those chronic young men who go around whining about their sensitive feelings, when they're well past forty. ..." The name Eric_Starnes—appearing in a book which starts off with the question "Who is John Galt?"--could prompt some persons to say that James Earl Ray concocted the name Eric Starvo Galt after reading Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged", and that this alias has nothing to do with any of the characters in Ian Flemming's books. Furthermore, these persons could say similarities do exist between James Earl Ray's family and the family of Eric Starnes as described on page 321 of "Atlas Shrugged. " Confronted with the above-cited quotation from "Atlas Shrugged, " some of these same persons undoubtedly would insist that FBI fugitive James Earl Ray (like Eric Starnes) has committed suicide. (On the other hand, significant differences can be pointed out between Eric Starnes and James Ray. For example, Eric Starnes is described as the youngest of the Starnes; whereas, James Earl Ray was the oldest child in his family. Attached are lists of the names which appear in 14 of the 18 Ian FlcmjAing books. The other four Ian Flemming books (Thrilling Cities," "Octopussy," "More Gilt-Edged Bonds" and "Clutty-Chitly-Bang- Bang") are not available in Washington book stores, •including stores dealing in paperback books. If desired, we will ask the New York Office to attempt to run down copies of these four books in that city. M. A.
