         This is commonly known as the Third National, BTW.

         In DL, the CSA settled on the Third National. There was supposed 
to be a picture in _Dead Presidents_ that made this official, but like a 
great deal else I devised for _DP_, it was vivisected from the printed version.

         Thanks for the question!
