This is request for some help. I write from New Orleans. A major corporation here, Freeport-McMoran, has recently been the object of criticism for alleged environment and human rights abuses at its copper-gold miine in Irian Jaya, a province of Indonesia. FMM has run full page adds in the NYT, the Times-Picayune (New Orleans) and elsewhere using a purported quote from Mark Twain. Here is the quote: "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." Can anyone tell me if this is a quote by MT and, if so, where it appears? Thanks.
