I was reading the novelization of _Back to the Future_ and noticed an amusing reference. When Marty arrives in 1955, he arrives on the Peabody farm. The farmer, Mr. Peabody, has a son named....... Sherman. This? In a story about time travel? Can you say "Way-Back Machine"? I knew you could? -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.

But it seems more like it was a joke for the actors more than for the audience, since you don't really see it in the film itself. It was in the credits at the end. Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!mtgzz!leeper
