ABSTRACT

The first impression of Arthur Miller is that of a man who has left his mark on Mount Rushmore, so chiselled is his face, so deep the furrows of determination bracketing his mouth. The eyes are inquisitive and quite ready to be puzzled by the incongruities of life, even if the traces of time on his face allow no room for doubt; he is a man of opinion, with a mental architecture of his own which leaves no areas of intelligence vague or ill-digested. He is a strategist rather than a tactician, with a scientific application of his acquired values to the matters at hand: an unhurried judge as well as a passionate, yet reasoned, advocate.
