I am sorry I have made a grammatical mistake: > Many non-academic people as well as the academic in Japan have > attracted Mark Twain and his works since the Meiji period(1890's). I wanted to say "Many non-academic people as well as the academic in Japan have been attracted by Mark Twain and his works since the Meiji period(1890's)." Shioya, Koichi ([log in to unmask])
