For a change, this year\’s edition of the greatest games marketing exercise on earthâalso known as E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expoâreally could prove to be four days that changed the (gaming) world.

Even 59 years later, Arthur Miller’s beloved hit All My Sons still draws a crowd. Seen through the peace-and-prosperity prism of post-war America, the play follows Joe Keller, a businessman with a shady past, as he tries to hold his crumbling clan together. It’s pre-Willy Loman domestic drama as only Miller could write it, with some potent anti-war symbolism thrown in for good measure.

Hatcher stays, Dempsey moves: Bonus for Gray TV?
ABC has some of TV’s biggest hits on the airâ”Desperate Housewives,” “Grey’s Anatomy”âbut despite that success the network felt compelled to tinker with its lineup, according to today’s Wall Street Journal. The change, if it works to stem declining viewership for some of the big programs, could be good news for Gray TV, which moved into the Charlottesville media market 19 months ago, bringing local ABC, CBS and Fox affiliates to the spectrum in an uphill battle to win viewers from the Richmond affiliates. “Desperate Housewives” will remain in ABC’s Sunday 9pm slot, but “Grey’s Anatomy” will move to Thursday 9pm.
