...most of its 99-year history, the Coca-Cola Company has known only the sweet taste of success. This year, though, Coke seems unable to do anything right. First the Atlanta-based firm infuriated customers by changing the sacred formula of Coke. Then it had to swallow hard, admit error and bring back the old mixture under the label Coca-Cola Classic.

At the curtain call, the pairs come out again mismatched. Only as they start to bow do they exchange partners...
...particularly The Mysterious Stranger. Here, Twain is a touching figure, confident of his literary skill yet desperately lonely upon returning to earth decades after the demise of everyone he knew. The writings attributed to him ring true. So do his poignant yearnings, not for literary immortality but for the sweet sleep of mortal oblivion.
