On Sunday, October 5, 1997, the Cleveland Plain Dealer _Sunday Magazine_ featured a perceptive, well-written and highly entertaining five-page article by political satirist and activist, Barry Crimmins, a Forum member who lives in Lakewood, Ohio. The article entitled (by the editor) "Mark Twain and Me" is more appropriately subtitled (by the author), "Sympathy for the Devil's Advocate." Accompanying Barry's essay are a number of photographs of Mark Twain and three side-bars: "Twain on the Web" (in which both the Mark Twain Forum and Jim Zwick's magnificent Mark Twain web site are featured.); "Twain in his own words," is a small collection of MT quotes; and "Twain is Everywhere," a list of the best recent editions by or about Mark Twain. The Mark Twain Project is also featured, with news of the cut in NEH funding--along with an appeal for public support of the Project to "help hold the line until the government once again learns the meaning of the word 'priceless.')" Unfortunately, the Cleveland Plain Dealer does not have the _Sunday Magazine_ available at a web site. However, anyone interested in reading the essay and accompanying side-bars may write to me. To avoid cluttering the list, please DO NOT REPLY TO TWAIN-L but send your request to me at: [log in to unmask] Thank you. KB
