Several years ago, Ted Koppel did a a Nightline broadcast about the controversy over Huck Finn. His guests included an actor who was playing Jim in a dramatic presentation (pro); a prominent white male critic (pro); and an African-American male PhD - in education, I think - (anti). The part I will never forget was when the PhD complained that Twain had used the the n-word xxx number of times, but had never once used the word "honky." Koppel positively stammered. It is incredible to me how otherwise intelligent people seem to be capable of great leaps of illogic whenever this debate resumes. If anyone happens to know where I might get a copy of that Nightline broadcast, I'd be very grateful for the information. Peggy A Dolan
