Some geologists, including Paul Hoffman, a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada, believe that the new map could point the way to valuable mineral discoveries. If the theory proves correct, silver, copper and zinc (all found in eastern Australia) should also turn up in northwestern Canada. But scientists caution that before anybody rushes out with a prospector's pick, research must confirm that the rocks in the Western U.S. are really related to those in eastern Antarctica. Dalziel estimates that this comparison should take no more than six months -- a short wait to clear up a mystery that...
Secrecy at CIA headquarters extends all the way to the courtyard. Kryptos, a granite-and-copper sculpture by Washington artist Jim Sanborn, was quietly installed last November near a new building on the agency's grounds.

Among them: the Federal Express Orange Bowl, Mazda Gator Bowl, Poulan/Weed Eater Independence Bowl and Domino's Pizza Copper Bowl. In El Paso sports reporters and other locals persisted in calling the John Hancock Sun Bowl by its old name, the Sun Bowl. So last year the insurance company got the name changed. Now it is officially the John Hancock Bowl...
