     Today at the library I was playing with one of the new toys,
_Columbia Granger's World of Poetry on CD-ROM_.  You might be interested
to know that Twain has 10 entries in this index, appended below.
Noticeably absent are items from Arthur L. Scott's _On the Poetry of MT_
(1966).  Also, this database continues the long tradition of
misattributing to Twain the inscription on Susy's gravestone.  Some
mistakes will last forever, I guess.

     By the way, I asked this a while ago but got no response: does
anyone have access to the Oxford English Dictionary on CD-ROM?  It would
be great to see the number of MT citations in there.
