Just read a really interesting piece on Arthur Miller and the son we never knew he had... not sure what to think, except that life is always complex.

wow...just wow... I never would have expected him to be a person to be so heartless. That's an amazing article and I am just in shock from reading it.

I think this raises a good point. I am not entirely shocked by the article, just by the response I've seen from it. I mean

Just to clarify, upon reading a story, I place myself in the position of all those involved (Maybe it's an actor thing?). I read this article empathizing with each of them distinctly: Inge Morath, Christopher, Arthur Miller, Rebecca.

It isn't that it is impossible to imagine that he would do anything bad. I'm not that shortsighted. Nor do I think it is merely judgment cast upon him. On the contrary. I am heartbroken for him. I'm sure he had to carry the weight of his decision for the rest of his life. For all of them... the struggle, the pain, guilt. Also, as terrible as it sounds, I can't help but think, "My god... that could make for some really good theatre."
