it is surprising that twenty-three stories about old people
should make bright reading. Being conventional, I started
through FullMeasure in my persona (that buttoned cassock of
the personality): I was a high-minded learner about old age, all
set to be compassionate and all willingness to be instructed.
Of course, no one is remiss in practising compassion or
docile learning, yet what a waste it would be to approach this
particular anthology with only those churchy virtues! The best
way to read FullMeasure is leisurely, richly, to sink into it the
way we sink ourselves into adventure stories. Here are twenty-
three stories full of psychological and physical danger, and we
can read them for the action, f~)r the particular occasions of the
forty-odd characters, for their ingenuity or valor or bad luck or
ghastly decision making. I found myself taking note of" their
doings, the way a midshipman might read letters from recent
graduates now out on the great waters. Whatever these charac-
ters are coming to, beset by, licked by, or able to alter--all that
ies ahead. I found myself fascinated by how well or how poorly
hese story people took hold: I made role models out of some of
hem.
