It seems that the Burns film has generated a "renewal" of
sorts...I've seen more articles on Twain in the popular
press than I have in years.  The St. Louis Post-Dispatch for
Sunday, Jan. 20 headlines Twain as discovering more of
America than Christopher Columbus.  One of the best parts of
Blount's article is that it may spur folks to read
_Innocents Abroad_ again.
