[lit-ideas] Re: Twitter

I don't have that issue handy but I suspect the alleged remarks by Peter and 
Gordon are a gratuitous damper on the subject under discussion.  One wonders 
what the point of the damper is.

Open the April 30th issue at page six, the one with the lovely 
cover--two people staring not at a Pollock-like painting which dwarfs 
them, but instead at a tiny digital camera's screen, on which the 
painting is reproduced-- and you will see I was referring to 
correspondence in response to Colapinto's article. The second letter 
is from Peter Gordon of Columbia University. It apologizes to "the 
people of Appalachia" for "remarks [that] have added to... negative and 
untrue stereotypes."
