Arthur Miller passed away

One of the twentieth century's greatest writers passesd away, Arthur Miller . His earlier plays include great classics, like "All My Sons," taught for decades in Israel as English LITERATURE.

For those of my generation, we remember him as "one of Marilyn's," Marilyn Monroe, that is. That's before it became common knowledge that she was a good friend of the Kennedy brothers, like in JFK and his little brother Bobby. Miller also wrote a play about her, "After the Fall." And after that, he lost his touch, the further he got from his roots, the suffering of his youth.

He was born in 1915, so lived about 90 years, survived by a daughter and grandchildren.
