This week's edition of the Nolan Canova Pop Culture Review marks the 45th consecutive edition of "La Floridiana". While I'm on vacation, I need to forego my typical writing duties, but thought now is a good time to give an index of all of the previous 44 columns to inform any of our interested readers who may have missed these Florida-related stories. The issue of the Pop Culture Review that each of these appeared in listed, along with the corresponding date of appearance. For any "La Floridiana" installments that are of interest to you, simply go to the appropriate NCPCR "Archives" for either 2001 and /or 2002, and click the appropriate Issue number. (And if I can ever find the time, I'll link these ones up!---Nolan
