Those dreams dimmed last week when Hunt was charged with stealing $200,000 from his inaugural fund and other crimes. Hunt insisted that the indictment was "baseless."

...rock produced during drilling suggest that some oil and gas deposits are trapped within ancient cave systems that formed hundreds of millions of years ago. "So, about five years ago, some of us started looking in modern caves to see what they could tell us about where to hunt for oil," says Robert Handford, principal geologist at ARCO's research center in Plano, Texas. "It's been a truly eye- opening experience that has made us interpret some of the cores we bring up in a completely different manner." Because of the link between oil and caves, ARCO is starting...
