Group, As I mentioned yesterday, I made an inquiry to the New York Times about this matter, and got a response this afternoon from a sports editor: "Dear Terry, The information about Paul O'Neill's relationship to Mark Twain came from the New York Yankees. In fact, as of last season (this season's have not arrived yet), the Yankees' media guide was still reporting that O'Neill is a direct descendant of Twain. It's the last line in the O'Neill's biography. Regards, Tom Jolly" Terry Ballard Automation Librarian Quinnipiac College "My memory has a mind of its own."
