Subject: Public perceptions of Mark Twain

A correspondent sent me this note from a Green Bay Packers discussion group. I believe it's worth sharing.

Vic, didnâ€™t you get the memo? Everything old is bad and everything new is good. How many times as a Packers fan have I heard that nine of our
13 championships we won donâ€™t count because they didnâ€™t call the game the Super Bowl prior to January 1967. Itâ€™s the same ridiculous historical bigotry that can make a man as great as Jim Brown nothing but your average running back today, in some folksâ€™ minds. According to reports, Secretariat would have beaten American Pharoah at Belmont by two seconds. How can that be? Everything old is bad. Nobody that did anything a long time ago was any good, except Mark Twain.
