Keyes has condensed 20 years of research into a newly released myth-buster called “Nice Guys Finish Seventh”.

A book my friend Gene Shalit sent me the other day [is] called appropriately enough “Nice Guys Finish Seventh.” … If you want to know more of who didn’t say what — including a whole list of things that Mark Twain never said — get the book.

Keyes’s research unearths interesting, often surprising facts about who said what when — as well as enough errors in standard references to suggest his volume deserves a place in most quotation collections.

Lively, informed…Reading this is great fun.
