      Thanks Fritz, and to Mark Alman for the links.  Interesting stories, but 
as usual, the reporter doesn't do a very good job of fact checking.  She claims 
Carlsbad's Big Room is the second largest in the world.  Bob Gulden lists it as 
no. 20 <http://www.caverbob.com/room.htm>, and Fabien Darne has it at no. 23 
<http://fabien.darne.free.fr/speleo/grandes_salles/>.  Several rooms in Mexico 
and Belize are larger.
