                                    This image from the back dust jacket of <CITE>The Da Vinci Code</CITE> includes text printed backward. When held to a mirror, it reads, "Only WW knows," referring to a passage taken from <CITE>Kryptos</CITE> indicating that only one person knows what may be buried on the CIA grounds. "WW" refers to former CIA director William Webster, who received an envelope from sculptor Jim Sanborn containing the solution to <CITE>Kryptos</CITE>. But Sanborn says that even Webster doesn't know -- when he gave the solution to Webster, he left out some crucial parts.

It's been nearly 15 years since Sanborn installed the 12-foot-high, verdigrised copper, granite and wood sculpture inscribed with <A href="http://www.elonka.com/kryptos/transcript.html">four encrypted messages</A> at the CIA's Langley, Virginia, headquarters in 1990. And it's been seven years since anyone made progress at cracking its code.
