...irrelevant. These are hard times for popular protest. Hundreds of thousands of people, all carefully organized and cleverly costumed to create media impact, failed in their attempt to prevent the deployment of American missiles on European soil. The anti-nuclear energy movement in this country hasn't spread beyond college students and professional activists, despite the obvious appeal it might have for less-skilled laborers who stand to lose their jobs. Sure, part of this is attributable to the cultural antagonisms of liberal intellectuals and lower class workers. During the Vietnam War, for instance, polls showed that blue-collar Americans...

In the late 1950s Miller was a prince among Broadway playwrights, but west of the Hudson he was less than a prince consort; he was Mr. Marilyn Monroe. For the 4½ years of their marriage, the egghead and the sex goddess were headliners in every tattling tabloid, and their divorce in 1961 hardly stilled the clucking, for the next year Monroe was dead from an overdose of barbiturates. Miller must have found this stardom by proxy offensive...
