By Any Other Name...
On January 23rd, if I heard right, you said that National
Airport is now officially Reagan Airport. If you check (say,
with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority,
703-572-2700), you'll find that Washington National Airport was
officially renamed Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Some of the media (e.g., the Washington Post and Channel 4 News) have
taken to calling it Reagan National (with or without the "Airport"),
while others say Washington National. Most of us, however, omit the
name of either president and continue to refer to the place as
National Airport, or simply National (as in "I'm flying out of
National").
Interesting program -- keep up the good work!
