Go Skip a Watchman

There's a ad on TV that claims that the oldest trees produce the sweetest fruit. I grew up on an orchard, and I know that this is wrong. The oldest trees produce the sourest fruit. At 89, Harper Lee has proved the truth of this in her new book, Go Set a Watchman. In it, one of America's greatest fictional heroes, Atticus Finch, is portrayed as a segregationist. . .
[T]his text . . . should certainly have remained in the safety deposit box where it was found.
I agree. Some people get irrational and sour as they get older. If Harper Lee had really wanted to publish this, wouldn't she have done it earlier?
