"Attention must be paid." That's the line — the big line from "Death of a Salesman." And, if you missed it this last week or so, well, you weren't paying attention. It was the headline in the Christian Science Monitor, and the New York Times: "Attention must be paid." California's Contra Costa Times went with: " 'Attention must be paid' to playwright." And The Chicago Tribune saved it for the slow-motion elephantine punchline of its opening paragraph: "The Man who wrote 'Death of a Salesman' died Thursday. And attention must be paid."

For a couple of decades, the Royal National Theater has given the impression it would be happy to stage Arthur Miller's Grocery List, preferably as a trilogy.

Death of a wacked-out lefty
G'evening, partner
good morning
Damn this guy is good!
Reading Mark Steyn is always a joy. He's great.
Wonder if he comes across as well on radio or TV?
Steyn is absolutely stunning on the radio.
I heard him for the first time last week when he was on Laura Ingraham's show.
She just now a minute ago said that she'll have him on again next week sometime.
Someone told me a few days ago that he is regularly on Hugh Hewitt's show on Wednesdays. I'll be listening this week for the first time to that show.
Steyn is just as brilliant speaking off the cuff as he is in print.
Funny, Laura just said "he's such a stud"!
"Steyn is absolutely stunning on the radio."
Great! I think what also makes Steyn special is that he lives in both Canada and Britain. As such, he can make the pro-America remarks without being accused of not having a worldly view, overly patriotic American, self centered America....and all the other knocks the foreigners sometimes invoke.
Don't cha know this just chaps their a%% to no end! LOL
A few things I recently found out: Steyn lives in Vermont, though he is Canadian by birth.
And though he attended private schools in England, he never went to college.
I was so surprised by his accent on the radio, it's an "Oxbridge" accent, which really tickeled me to hear it. He sounds a bit like Christopher Hitchens.
Except much much funnier!
Steyn lives in New Hampshire.
(Ooops, that would be "tickled" not "tickeled"! I knew that didn't look right.)
Laura has an infatuation with guys she would never actually date if she actually had the opportunity (and Steyn is married besides).
Thanks for that.
I think she used that just as a term of admiration. She's said it a couple of times before about others she admires.
She knows Steyn is married, besides she's dating someone.
Borges, FYI. Punch the link.
Thanks for pinging me. Great article. Not unlike the Terry Teachout piece in the WSJ a week ago. Steyn is closer to unerring on so many things.
