标题：Rob Reiner and the Plight of the Nepo Baby
Children of privilege still have to prove themselves, as he did—and if they fail, it’s all the more painful.

正文：To put a gruesome murder in terms of an overworked phrase beloved of supposedly media-savvy people: A Hollywood nepo baby and his wife are dead, and their own nepo baby is under arrest in connection with the killings. The story of Rob Reiner, his wife, Michele, and their son Nick ought to make people think again about what nepo babies are, and aren’t. The phrase carries a derisive jeer, a suggestion that anyone born into fame and wealth gets to glide through life. Yet for every nepo baby there’s a calamity baby.

知识点：gruesome adj. /ˈɡruːsəm/
causing repulsion or horror; grisly. 可怕的；令人厌恶的；毛骨悚然的
e.g. The detectives were confronted with a gruesome crime scene. 侦探们面对的是一个令人毛骨悚然的犯罪现场。
