    NOV/DEC 2017 NOV/DEC 008 SKYInflight Magazine TIMES LISTENING TO THE SOUNDS OF OLD BEIJING DAY AT THE MUSEUMS American Airlines Tightens Ties with China PRODUCING THE PERFECT POTTERY TengchongTo the Border EDITOR’S Letter Food, Fun and Festivities very autumn, the water level of the Yangtze River in Hubei begins to drop and the nearby lakes become thick bogs covered in webs of detritus. Men come in little boats, paddling their way across the Esinking river in the dim, blue-grey light before sunrise. They are looking for lotus root, the starchy staple that is a highlight of much Chinese cooking, and gives a sweetish solidity to a winter soup. This is the one segment of my favorite documentary TV series A Bite of China, which introduced the history and stories behind food, eating and cooking, and aroused lots of people’s interests in it. Food is always a hot topic, and everyone has something to say about it. Just like United States celebrity cook Rachael Ray said: “Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet — the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers and cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!” In our November/December edition, we are talking food. We bring you a warm and interesting story, focusing on six food lovers and the gourmet dishes of their hometowns. They include pilots, flight attendants, an air traffic controller and a head chef. Even though they come from different places, with diversified cultures, they share the same feelings about food.

    SAMUEL L. CLEMENS, JOURNALIST APPROVED: Major Professor fvsLwJj A Consulting Professor Minor Professor ' g'S>; Cji, Chairman of t£ie Department of English Dean 6f the Graduate School SAMUEL L. CLEMENS 9 JOURNALIST THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By i Christine M. Zwa^Len, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1970 PREFACE At the age of eleven, Samuel L. Clemens of Hannibal, Missouri, became a printer's devil, thereby beginning an association with the journalism profession that would last the remainder of his life. His career in the fourth estate included the full scope of journalistic involvement: journey- t man printer, occasional letter contributor, reporter, travel correspondent, editor and part owner of a metropolitan news- paper, free lancer, and magazine writer. His experiences helped shape the man, Samuel Clemens, and the writer, Mark Twain. His interest and knowledge of printing caused him to invest, and lose, a fortune in the invention of a typesetting machine. His Western newspaper articles inspired his first book; his special travel assignments inspired his second, which was an immediate success and launched his career as an author. Also, through his travel assignments, he discovered another lucrative profession: lecturing. Although he is more famous for his books than for his newspaper and magazine contributions, the early years he spent as a journalist were important to his development as a writer. They provided the fundamental training that preceded his achievement as an author. A study of his career as a journalist is necessary in order to understand where the special qualities of his books originated and'how they matured.
