Please tell me I'm wrong but I have a problem with this Hannibal
"thing".  It must be a nice town because several list members live
there.  Blame Shelley Fisher Fishkin, I guess :-).  Her detailed
description of the town (and of the commercialization) in "Lighting out
for the Terrirory" removed any desire on my part to ever go there. I
suspect I will do it, though.  I'm simply too much of a Twain fan.

I did like the review BTW.
