     There was (I think!) a Twain story lampooning journalistic
"correctness" in the matter of attribution, allegation, etc. -- the
earnest reporter (MT himself?), responding to his editor's criticism
of some of his previous work, so loaded his next copy with
careful hedging that it was reduced to absurdity. I am "sure" that I
have read this piece, but, in spite of some time-consuming attempts
to track it down, through both reference materials and perusal of
Twain's work, have failed. Help? Thanks.
