| To quote Sondheim himself, "My answer is cowardly but simple: criticize only the dead. I have never believed in 'de mortuis nil nisi bonum'; speaking ill exclusively of the dead seems to me the gentlemanly thing to do. The subject cannot be personally hurt, and his reputation is unlikely to be affected by anything you say" |
