From Top American Playwright Arthur Miller Dies at 89:
Arthur Miller, a titan of American theater who wrote ‘Death of a Salesman’ and was revered as a playwright who spoke for the common man, has died. He was 89.
He spoke for the common man — the kind of guy who marries an iconic Hollywood starlet (Marilyn Monroe), goes head to head with the House Un-American Activities Committee, and writes critically acclaimed plays — that kind of common man.
