N.B. I am posting this on behalf of Craig Fehrman.--Kevin B. ~~~~~ A few months back, I sent you the link to my story on the fate of Mark Twain's Greenwich Village home. I've got another weird Twain story -- this time in Slate, and this time on the long history of Twain's autobiography and the various editors who broke his embargo and then found themselves embroiled in mini-scandals. The essay includes everything from Cold War intrigue to the author of The Power of Positive Thinking. Plus, of course, a lot of Twain. Anyway, seemed like something the Twain-L readers might enjoy. Best, Craig http://www.slate.com/id/2272634/pagenum/all/ <end>
