   Well, it hasn't been the Interboro for about 20 years now ... when I first   
   came back to NYC in 1997, the traffic reports kept mentioning a "Jackie   
   Robinson Parkway," and since they didn't use a double name ("the RFK Triboro   
   Bridge"), it must have had that name for quite a while.   
      
   Maybe there's never a traffic problem on the Queensborough, since I never hear   
   "the Ed Koch Queensborough" -- or, for that matter, "the Hugh Carey Brooklyn-   
   Battery Tunnel."   
      
   I really think they ought to have named the Queens-Midtown Tunnel for Mario   
   Cuomo while he was here to enjoy it.
