Though such extravagant language was not justified, it was in some sense understandable. Death of a Salesman is no more than an altogether creditable play. But it is also a magnificent try, concerned with something so simple, central and terrible that the run of playwrights would neither care nor dare to attempt it. It reveals the tragedy of a typical American who loses out by trying too hard to win out; it chronicles the propless failure born of the worship of success...
...goodfellow game, planted his sons along the broad winning highway, locked himself-and then lost himself-inside the American dream. Whenever the truth has not been fancy enough, he has lied to other people; whenever it has hurt, he has lied to himself. Nor have his sons fared better-neither the boy who loved his father till he found him with a woman, nor the one who has never loved anything but a good time.

Where the Wagner Act put curbs on management, the 1947 law clamped down on labor alone in this most prized of its privileges. Neither statute deals adequately with the closed shop in its present full-grown state. It is a peculiarity of American labor organization which must rather be protected from union abuses than forbidden by law. If unions are to maintain closed shop, they must preserve open membership as regards race, initiation fees, and dues. But the fact remains...
