In this example, I use the maps.us map, and I annotate the state
names using the x/y positions found in maps.uscenter (note that
for the small states, I use the alternate positions that are
in the water, since there's not enough room in the states
to put the names - this is described in many official sas/graph
examples).

I use several title statements, and I use the title statements'
justify=right and left to "split" each title so that I have a
piece on the left and a piece on the right.  

Also, I create a custom "ODS Style" to put the 'Census 2000,
USA Today' logo image along the top.

And, I use the 'iback' goption to put the astronomy image
behind the map.

I use gmap's "html=" option to specify a variable that contains
the html title= charttip/flyover-text, and the href= drilldown.
The drilldown takes you to the USA Today page with census information
on the selected state.
