The banked file named the Pulitzer empty in one word; the checklist requires the paper test and the person test run separately, and the national book prizes named at all — they are run and named here. The paper test: no newspaper published in Lakeville appears among Pulitzer winners; the town's papers have been weeklies, and the Pulitzer organisation's complete winners list, 1917 to the present, carries no Lakeville masthead. The person test: no winner with a Lakeville tie — as reporter, photographer, or author — appears on the roll. The national book prizes, never named in the banked file, print here as their own empty lines: no Lakeville-tied author — not Jeanne Geyer, not Franklin N. Sheneman II, not Dick Grove, not John Roncz — appears on the National Book Award rolls at the strength searched. The Indiana near-name is expelled at the boundary so it cannot be mistaken for a local line: Booth Tarkington of Indianapolis won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1919 and 1922; he is Indiana's, not Lakeville's, and he enters this article only to be kept out of the town's ledger.
