“I don’t want to be different. Who would?”. But Jonas is different. He’s got the mark on his wrist, and he’s to be a “Receiver.” In a world without strife, struggle, rudeness or even bad grammar — “PRECISE language!” — Jonas will be given that gift that few share: memory. He has to be strong enough to handle this collective history of the World before The Ruin. It was a time, the sage “Giver” (Jeff Bridges) intones, “when things were different. When there was more.” More, we learn, can mean everything from races and religions to emotions and sensations (love, pain, music, dance) and even real estate. These perfect planned “communities” on the top of this cloud-shrouded plateau are the only world any of these people know. The Giver is the keeper of memories he passes on because his class is responsible for advising the elders on matters that keep this politically correct/strife-free utopia utopian.

Lafferty briefly attended a couple of Voight’s public Zodiac gatherings in Vallejo, once in 2002 and again in 2009, Voight said in an email. “He was quite sure he had identified the Zodiac killer and thus solved the case,” he said. “I don’t agree, especially after reading his book. Lafferty is the most recent of a rather large number of original Zodiac players to have passed away.”. On Friday, though, Lafferty’s deep blue and silver casket, bearing a white floral arrangement, was flanked by a recent photo and one of him in his CHP dress uniform. A U.S. Air Force color guard preceded the service, led by Rev. Ernie Bringas. A CHP officer stood watch over the casket.
