Ronald Reagan's conservative revolution may have finally fizzled last November, when congressional Republicans suffered stunning losses, but the Gipper himself is hotter than ever. Ronnie-lovers are quietly foisting the Reagan name on everything from turnpikes and airports to mountains and trade centers. 'The last 12 months or so have brought forth an unanticipated wave of rekindled affection for the old fellow,' writes David Kamp in GQ (Oct. 1998), 'as if he were not simply muted by Alzheimer's but long interred, forgotten about for some years, and then studiously revived by scholar-fans eager to press his case--rather like Edith Wharton a few years back.'

Except that Miss Wharton never had an airport named after her, or a gang of sycophants--like Grover Norquist and his Reagan Legacy Project--vulgar enough to suggest (seriously) that her likeness be added to the pantheon of Mount Rushmore presidents. (It's 'maybe 10 years down the road,' Norquist says, 'something we want people to get used to first.') The ideas are so outrageous it's hard to distinguish the real proposals from the loopy ones. But go ahead, give it a try. (The answers are below.)
