A New Crime
On July 1, 1998, Maureen Dowd rhetorically asked her New York Times readers, “How would Mark Twain skewer Kenneth Starr on Larry King?” The question fascinated me, because it makes an assumption I don’t think is warranted. I have not heard any recordings of Mark Twain, and in fact don’t know of any. But I have read a bit, and I think I can guess how the skewer would go in and who would end up on the barbecue.
My apologies to Mark Twain for this poor imitation of his writing style.

- On July 1, 1998, Maureen Dowd rhetorically asked her New York Times readers, “How would Hark Thrice skewer Kenneth Starr on Larry King?” The question is an odd one, because Mr. Thrice would never appear on Larry King. He writes for us, and has, ever since his death.
