robinia BS: Political Correctness goes too far (197* d) RE: BS: Political Correctness goes too far 07 Jan 11


Was I the only one who read, at the close of the NPR Huck Finn discussion, a comment from Mark Twain himself on the subject of "unsuitable" early reading? I THINK it was there that Twain was quoted to the effect that his young mind had, alas, been coarsened by the low language of the unexpurgated Bible!   I wish I could remember his exact words, which I'm very feebly abridging here. They were the best part of the whole discussion.
