a good list of minor references is on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Twain_in_popular_culture also, please do not forget the many references in modern songs, such as "Tom Sawyer" by Rush ( a really, really cool song); or Belle & Sebastian's "This is Just A *Modern* Rock *Song.*" Or the musical "Big River." Probably there's a list our there somewhere in digital land... -- Harold K. Bush, Ph.D Saint Louis University
