Just a reminder to Forum members that tomorrow, June 2, is the 119th
anniversary of Twain's observation that "The report of my death was an
exaggeration," appearing under the headline, "Mark Twain Amused," in the *New
York Journal, *published by William Randolph Hearst.

Twain would later observe, in his *Autobiography, *that Hearst's "yellow
journalism" was "that calamity of calamities."

Obviously, even his imaginative powers could not conjure up the "calamity"
of Donald Trump, enough to make one seriously contemplate the need to
absquatulate.
