RENZI marks the spot

Workers who drive the vast concrete ramps and taxiways at LAX have puzzled for years over the letters painted on a secluded corner of the airfield: R-E-N-Z-I, in white on black. The Daily Breeze's Doug Irving reports the mystery is solved. The letters mark the exact spot where the nose wheel for Air Force One stops when the President is brought to Los Angeles. Renzi is Frank Renzi, a Secret Service supervisor whose named was painted on the pavement when it was deemed unwise to keep using the letters POTUS—the often-used abbreviation for President of the United States—to mark the location.
