  By using the same algorithm in the Baade-Wesselink analyses of Galactic RR
Lyrae and Cepheid variables, it is shown that, within 0.03 mag (1 sigma)
statistical error, they yield the same distance modulus for the Large
Magellanic Cloud. By fixing the zero point of the color-temperature calibration
to those of the current infrared flux methods and using updated
period-luminosity-color relations, we get an average value of 18.55 for the
true distance modulus of the LMC.
