We give a different proof of the result of Sakuma that every closed, oriented 3-manifold M has a 2-fold branched covering space N which is a surface bundle over Si. We also give a new proof of the result of Brooks that N can be made hyperbolic. We give examples of irreducible 3-manifolds which can be represented as 2m-fold cyclic branched coverings of S3 for a number of different m's as big as we like. 1. In [S] Sakuma proves that for every closed, oriented, connected 3-manifold M3, there exists an Fg-bundle over S1, W3, where Fg is a closed, oriented and connected surface of genus g, such that W3 is a 2-fold branched covering of M3. He shows this by thinking of a handlebody Xg, of genus g, as the mapping cylinder of /: Fg —» Pg (defined in Figure 1). If M has a Heegaard splitting M = Xg U X'g, there is a 2-fold covering of M branched over dPg U dPg that can be constructed by splitting M along Pg U P'g and pasting together two copies of the resulting F9-bundle over [0,1]. This 2-fold covering is W3. 2. In this note we give an alternative proof of the same result. Namely, we show LEMMA 1. Let M3 be a closed, oriented 3-manifold having an open book structure, M3 = M(Fg>h',), where Fg^ is a compact, connected, and oriented surface of genus g with h boundary components, and where tf>: Fg^ —► Fg.rt (the monodromy map) is a homeomorphism which restricts to the identity map on the boundary of F9thThen there exists an Fk-bundle over S1, M(4>ff(¡>~1), which is a 2-fold covering of M(F9th; 4>) branched over a 2h-component link, and where k = 2g + h — 1. Since every M3 is an open book M(F9,i;0) [GA, M] we deduce COROLLARY 2. Every closed, oriented connected 3-manifold M3 contains a 2component link L, such that there is a 2-fold covering of M3 branched over L which is an Fk-bundle over S1. PROOF OF LEMMA l. Let 2Fg,h be the double of Fg,h and let i: 2Fg,h -> 2F9th be the natural involution interchanging the two copies of 2F9ihReceived by the editors June 11, 1985, and, in revised form, July 28, 1986. 1980 Mathematics Subject Classification (1985 Revision).
