Anniversary of the death of Arthur Miller. I decided to move to the Chelsea in 1960 for the privacy I was promised. It seemed a wonderfully out-of-the-
way place, nearly a slum, where nobody would be likely to be looking for me. If you read Miller's entire essay you'll discover ..."and a young woman with eyes so crazy that one remembered them as being above one another, would show up in the lobby now and then, distributing a ream of mimeographed curses on male people whom she accused of destroying her life and everything good, and threatening to shoot a man one of these days. I had a serious talk, or what I took to be one, with Mr Bard and his son Stanley who was gradually taking over, but they pooh-poohed the idea of her doing anything rash. As I slowly learned, they were simply not interested in bad news of any kind. Of course she shot Warhol two days later as he was entering the lobby from 23rd Street, aiming for his balls. But this only momentarily disturbed the even tenor of the Chelsea day, what with everything else going on."
Do not point out to Oprah that Valerie Solanas shot Andy Warhol while he was at The Factory. Oprah has been confused enough by the memoir form lately.
