To David P. Williams
Since Michael , Arlen’s pieces on television
started coming out in The New Yorker a few
years ago, growing number of readers have
come to think of him as the best television
critic in this country. Which may be true,
but somehow doesn’t seem fully accurate, in
that being critic for the most part implies
somebody who a sits in 2 chair and looks at a
book or at play or at a movie, and what
has given Mr. a Arlen’s television pieces such
with best wishes
individual impact has been his awareness
that it isn’t possible
