I've been reading Twain's "What Is Man" and other Essays and came upon what I'm pretty sure is a typo. In every version I've been able to find, the typo is repeated.. So... at the risk of being accused of being the only one in the parade who is in step.... I say, check this out: In Twain's essay "Switzerland, the Cradle of Liberty", he talks about Jungfrau and how it differs from other peaks. He talks of how it is "framed". "The gateway, in the dark-colored barrier, makes a strong frame for the great picture. The somber frame and the glowing snow-pile are startlingly contrasted. It is this frame which concentrates and emphasizes the glory of the Jungfrau and makes it the most engaging and beguiling and fascinating spectacle that exists on the earth. There are many mountains of snow that are as lofty as the Jungfrau and as nobly proportioned, but they lack the fame. They stand at large; they are intruded upon and elbowed by neighboring domes and summits, and their grandeur is diminished and fails of effect." I humbly entreat future publishers to take the courageous step of correcting this OBVIOUS publishing error. NO WAY would Twain have written "fame"!! +++++++++++++++ John Greenman [log in to unmask] +++++++++++++++ "The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.”" -Mark Twain
