I came across this interesting web site with various kinds of statistical maps from the University of Sheffield:
http://www.worldmapper.org The one map I checked out was all in metric, which was nice. I'm presuming they all are. (Would that the British press did likewise. In fact, I was surprised to hear a correspondent for the BBC World Service in Aghanistan use "feet" to describe the height of the mountain he was on. At first I assumed it was because he may have been talking with American troops who used that unit among themselves, but then I realized that the US military is all metric these days, too, which means they would have used "meters". Curious.) Ezra
