His protagonist, Willy Loman, however, is an Everyman, someone who heedlessly believes all the lies that are fed to us--the ones about success and self-realization, the ones about consumerism, the ones about the necessity of being, as he puts it, "well liked."

...with 33 types of cereal and 34 toppings, from dried blueberries to Pop Rocks. Cereality customers pay $4 a bowl, then choose and pour their milk--soy, flavored, skim or whole. At the Tempe, Ariz., flagship, "Cereologists"--pajama-clad servers--serve up plain old corn flakes as well as fancier combos. Among their popular concoctions: Devil Made Me Do It, combining Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms with chocolate milk and malt balls. On Nov. 29, a 1,500-sq.-ft. Philadelphia outpost is set to open. The chain's slogan? "95% of people like cereal; 57% like sex. We have...
