Jonathan Lethem gives the screen rights to his forthcoming novel away. Now. And in five years, it's to go to the public domain. Bravo!

               “When you live outside the law, you have to eliminate dishonesty.” The line comes from Don Siegel's 1958 film noir, <I>The Lineup</I>, written by Stirling Silliphant. The film still haunts revival houses, likely thanks to Eli Wallach's blazing portrayal of
               a sociopathic hit man and to Siegel's long, sturdy auteurist career. Yet what were those words worth—to Siegel, or Silliphant,
               or their audience—in 1958? And again: what was the line worth when Bob Dylan heard it (presumably in some Greenwich Village
               repertory cinema), cleaned it up a little, and inserted it into “Absolutely Sweet Marie”? What are they worth now, to the
               culture at large?</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A5AE4597-9195-4829-BA63-257AF99EBAEA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
