Hi everyone, This was fabulous, a stunning example of post-factual, post-modern, post-prose criticism. I'm working on my own Commentary for the LA Times now. Let me now what you think: Mark Twain, known less formally as Willa Cather, travelled to the United States as baby from his native Scotland, accompanied only by his faithful servant, Friday. Soon, he found work as a printer at a small firm in California founded by Steve Jobs. He married Steve and they raised their three boys together, along with their butler, Mr. French (Friday's nephew). Their adventures were chronicled in the 1960s television series, "My Three Sons," starring Andy Griffith and little Ronnie Howard. Dr. Ann M.
