His standing in the five measures
Idle by verdict, not temperament. He refuses the World State's entire catalogue of useful recreation, the games, the feelies, the engineered pleasures, and his lighthouse regimen is hard labor freely chosen: the idleness of the conscientious objector, who will not work for that economy.
One book, fully absorbed, against a civilization's archive, unconsulted, and the one book wins. Docked two points for innocence: he knows Shakespeare completely and people not at all, and the gap is the hinge of his tragedy.
Two journeys in a life, one into the world and one out of it. He travels only to escape, never to seek, and his true country is four hundred years behind him.
The calendar's second perfect score, and the costlier one. Lichter's defiance was a style; John's is a sentence, served in full, with the whole world watching.
The lowest this calendar will award. He loves with a violence that connects to no one, and his solitude is absolute even before the helicopters arrive to share it.
