This guy apparently sent identical emails to every "Twain authority" he
could find on the net. He was gracious enough to send a thank you, and I
thought it makes a dandy punch-line to this little episode. See below...

Thank you all for your kind attention.  I have been apprised that the
quote
"War is good for the economy like cannibalism is nutritious."
 was not from Mark Twain (or Henry Hazlitt), but from Bono, the lead singer
 for U2.  Thanks again, SP
