One of the principal aims in the study of nonpositively curved manifolds is to specify the circumstances under which assertions about negatively curved manifolds become false-if they become false-under the weaker assumption of nonpositive sectional curvature. For example, a theorem of Milnor [Mi] asserts that r has exponential growth if M is compact and negatively curved. As for the weaker assumption KM:: o 0, Avez [Av] showed that r has exponential growth if and only if M is
