The lack of an "s" is intentional. I need one paper for a session for the Philological Association of the Carolinas annual meeting in Spartanburg, SC at Converse College, March 19-21, 1998. If you're interested and KNOW you can come , please send me an abstract of a paper on Mark Twain, along with addresses and a brief c.v. The deadline for me to send the session info in is October 1, so I need this in the next week. One more paper will make a session. Thanks! John Bird
