GEORGE BUSH HAS DECIDED TO MOVE ONE SQUARE forward on the "road map" he uses to guide the improvement of U.S. ties to Vietnam.

Fortunately, speleologists at Western Kentucky University were able to use their knowledge of how water flows through caves to trace the source of the fumes and put a stop to the contamination. They plan to map out more of the underground caves and passageways in order to better understand which areas are at highest risk. Communities built on karst in Tennessee, West Virginia, Florida and Missouri may someday follow suit...
