Even beyond that kind of thing, the tone of the whole article is exactly 
what you might get in a 15-year-old's "report" on Twain. She keeps 
identifying him as "this famous author" (or words to that effect), and feels 
compelled to describe Huck Finn's "humor that brings enlightenment to the 
various situations." And all of this extremely superficial information (or, 
in several cases, misinformation) is published in a prominent newspaper 
under the heading "Commentary." How can that be, unless mentioning that 
Twain was a famous writer qualifies as commentary. Maybe somebody will write 
in with a counterpoint for that bold opinion.
