Hello!

I am trying to search the quotation used in the Ken Burns' documentary on
Twain where he said of his Oxford robes:  "I like the degree well enough,
but I'm crazy about the clothes."  The quotation does not appear in Burns'
lovely companion book, and it is NOT in any of the press clippings of London
and New York (according the scrapbooks at Berkeley).

Does anyone know where this comes from?

Thanks,
M. Sibbitt
