  Results from the data obtained in the first physics run of the Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have shown suprisingly large elliptic flow and
suprisingly small HBT radii. Attempts to explain both results in a consistant
picture have so far been unsuccessful. The present work shows that a thermal
model + hadronic rescattering calculation can explain both elliptic flow and
HBT results from RHIC. The calculation requires a very early hadronization time
of about 1 fm/c after the initial collision of the nuclei.
