I have just added an interview with coproducer/cowriter Dayton
Duncan about the forthcoming Ken Burns documentary about Mark
Twain to the Mark Twain site at the Mining Co. and thought it might
be of interest.  Along with discussing the current status of the film
and its scope, he responds to the questions raised here about the
production grant from Connecticut.  It is online at:
