Dear Twain-List participants-- The NY Times quotes Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage before the 9-11 commission as saying the following: "The words of Samuel Clemens come to mind, and that is even though you're on the right track , you can get run over if you'r not going fast enough." This is one attribution that I'm not familiar with. Can anyone help me out. Did Clemens/Twain say this? In what context? I knew it was just a matter of time before his words were invoked by someone, but I just didn't know how they'd be construed. --Larry Howe
