This question makes me wonder if any of the Twain researchers/authors here would ever consider writing a book such as "How Mark Twain Saved the World" (as you are probably aware, there are such books as "How the Irish Saved the World."
It would be interesting to see enumerated all the ways in which he has influenced culture, both American and world. - B. Clay Shannon

It's widely believed that Twain's very political use of the term "new deal" i=
n _Connecticut Yankee_ inspired F. D.  Roosevelt's branding of his legislati=
ve program.  Indirect, but big.
