Hahah! Im so glad someone wrote about this. Particularly this part: The limelight is for actors, rock stars, athletes, artists, dancers, high-profile academics, writers, all of whom are objects of great suspicion because the special talents they have translate often into claims of special treatment. IN an episode entitled Genius a Norman Mailer-like writer speaks in defense of his murderous protegee: Art gives for to life;true genius should be coddled and forgiven. Law and Order---I speak of it as if it were a person; it is certainly a spirit---doesnt want to coddle anyone and forgiveness is low on its list of preferred virtues. Genius means trouble;creativity is antithetical to boundaries; and boundaries are what the police and prosecutors patrol. In the Law&Order franchise, artistic types are always spouting the type of nonsense the Mailer-like author says. Art is none of Law&Orders business. opinionator.blogs.nytimes/2010/08/02/law-order-probably-doesnt-like-you/
