And it was in that clammy month that the H-G men took George and

It was tragic, all right, but George and Hazel couldn't think about it very hard.

Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts.

And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear.

His thoughts fled in panic, like bandits from a burglar alarm.

They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in.

George was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn't be handicapped.

But he didn't get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts.

George winced.

"I'd think it would be real interesting, hearing all the different sounds," said Hazel a little envious.

Hazel, as a matter of fact, bore a strong resemblance to the Handicapper General, a woman named Diana Moon

He began to think glimmeringly about his abnormal son who was now in jail, about Harrison, but a twenty-one-gun salute in his head stopped that.

Two of of the eight ballerinas had collapsed to the studio floor, were holding their temples.

She was referring to the forty-seven pounds of birdshot in a canvas bag, which was padlocked around George's neck.

A siren was going off in his head.

"Reckon it'd fall all apart," said Hazel.

It wasn't clear at first as to what the bulletin was about, since the announcer, like all announcers, had a serious speech impediment.

"Harrison Bergeron, age fourteen," she said in a grackle squawk, "has just escaped from jail, where he was held on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government.

The picture showed the full length of Harrison against a background calibrated in feet and inches.

The rest of Harrison's appearance was Halloween and hardware.

He had outgrown hindrances faster than the H-G men could think them up.

Instead of a little ear radio for a mental handicap, he wore a tremendous pair of earphones, and spectacles with thick wavy lenses.

Ordinarily, there was a certain symmetry, a military neatness to the handicaps issued to strong people, but Harrison looked like a walking junkyard.

Screams and barking cries of consternation came from the television set.

The realization was blasted from his mind instantly by the sound of an automobile collision in his head.

The knob of the uprooted studio door was still in his hand.

Ballerinas, technicians, musicians, and announcers cowered on their knees before him, expecting to die.

"Even as I stand here" he bellowed, "crippled, hobbled, sickened - I am a greater ruler than any man who ever lived!

"Play your best," he told them, "and I'll make you barons and dukes and earls."

They reeled, whirled, swiveled, flounced, capered, gamboled, and spun.
