We all know about the long--and so far, vain--search for an extant sound recording of Twain's voice. There may yet be hope, given the news that a long-lost wax cylinder of the voice of Otto von Bismarck has been found among a trove of recordings made by Thomas Edison. You can see an article on this news item at http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2012/02/05/nj_museum_finds_re cording_of_otto_von_bismarck/. It's not Twain, but it's a reminder that there might still be a recording out there somewhere. Jim Edstrom P.S.
