A lot more than I myself realized until I started writing for magazines a bit. <br /><br />So it has humbled me a bit to think twice before lashing out at some journalist for writing something I find objectionable. Because who knows, maybe he/she didn't even write that? If you want to blame someone, better not to follow the byline but to hold the publication itself responsible. Since nothing appears in print without the editors taking responsibility.Playgoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994724588504353485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-28362570579266735952010-03-22T16:41:56.298-04:002010-03-22T16:41:56.298-04:00It is very hard to dismiss Odets; his language is ...It is very hard to dismiss Odets; his language is as fluid, rich, and distinct as that of any American playwright and his plays have an intensity that makes most current writing feel timid and detached. <br />On another issue, I am outraged that American Theatre would "insert" any statement into a writer's piece, much less one that is contrary to the writer's opinion. Why isn't there more protest over what is both censorship and, worse, misrepresentation, as they have put they are publishing their opinion under your name. Why isn't their more protest over this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-33683180289393055392010-03-22T15:39:32.102-04:002010-03-22T15:39:32.102-04:00You're right, R.
