There are not many people who would be relevant 100 years after their death.

Reports of my death don't seem all that exaggerated anymore.

"If I cannot swear in heaven I shall not stay there."

Twain was always one of my favorite writers, but one thing I'm fairly sure about Heaven. He won't get to make the rules there.

If he sounds sympathetic enough to socialism maybe they’ll let school kids read Huck Finn again.

We toured his Hartford, CT home several weeks ago. It was fascinating. Also have been to some of his stomping grounds around Hannibal, MO just by coincidence. I had not realize that he was such a global figure during his peak of fame. Also had a sad life in that 3 of his 4 children, plus his wife, predeceased him. There was something said about some of his writings just now being released next month, due to he had requested they be held until surely beyond the lifetimes of the subjects. I don’t remember the details, but probably can be found with a little research.

Thanks decimon. Twain is quite amusing, but he was also a whiny socialist, and never attempted to hold a regular job after becoming an occasionally successful novelist. I also think that Harry Truman was a good president, but he was also a snarly, surly bitch and party hack. I just brought this up because I figured you were dying to know. Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
