Shrouded in the secrecy of a thin blue tarp and supported by what looked like a giant cast-iron rib cage, the Olympic caldron was wheeled into Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on Sunday after a five-hour circuitous trip from Davis County.

The caldron -- at least 90 feet tall and said to be made mostly of glass -- will be home to the Olympic flame for the 17-day duration of the 2002 Games next month.
