I apologize for not realizing that Mr. Campbell's remarks were meant to assassinate Howard Zinn's character in private. I do not apologize for making spirited and political remarks in this forum. I await each post to the Twain forum in hopes that one of the great minds on this list will decide to discuss Clemens's relevance during these dark days. I think it rather absurd for someone to imply that the sanctity of a mailing list needs to be considered before the suffering of so many unfortunate victims of war.
