In the beginning

BURT Prelutsky’s article (“The rites and wrongs of crediting script rewriters,” Nov. 30) should be required reading for everyone in the entertainment business. That there are people who would dilute or even deny credit to the original writer is beyond absurd. One last time, can we all say it together? The original writer is where it all begins. If he hadn’t shown up with his script, everyone else would be painting houses.
