He has also signed up for lessons with Drama Coach Lee Strasberg, which...
After traversing the Iowa plains, they come to Rapid City, S. Dak., gateway to one of the nation's most remarkable monuments?Mount Rushmore's great granite faces of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.

Tour Guide Twain also takes his friends to Dead wood, the old cowboy town where Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane did things together that went unrecorded in children's schoolbooks. The main street is largely a series of tourist traps...
