...Twain dominates the room, with his white suit, wild hair and mischievous eye. His is an unexpected, ironic presence in a powerful politician's office-Twain assumed that all politicians were felonious-and Reid's explanation that the pseudonym Mark Twain was born in Nevada because Samuel Langhorne Clemens took his first newspaper job at the Virginia City, Nev., Territorial Enterprise doesn't fully explain the place of honor...

We headed towards the open part of the mall and I made eye contact with a hardheaded four-year-old whose mascara’d mother was stuffing his arms into a corduroy jacket.
