Brantley's Contempt

Posted by:	BestFriend 01:15 am EST 11/21/14

Ben Brantley's appraisal of Mike Nichols in Thursday's NY Times begins: "When the lights are dimmed on Broadway Friday night in honor of the director Mike Nichols, who died on Wednesday at 83, the neighborhood where he plied his trade for half a century will feel even darker than usual." "Even darker than usual," eh? How could anyone use such an occasion as an opportunity to express contempt for a community he covers? How gratuitously cruel to do so at the moment of its bereavement.
