I'm not the only one here, I hope, who's mourning the death of Arthur Miller.
He, much more than the any presidents of the last decades, stood for much of what's great about America, as well as of humankind,
and his two greatest works are very much up-to-date today:
the harsh and inhuman sides of the American Way exhibited by Death of a Salesman,
and even more pertinently in The Crucible, the proneness to national hysteria and its terrible consequences from the very foundations of New England through McCarthyism down to today's equivalent of the wars against witches and commies : the terrrorism scare.
