Atlanta now has the standard characteristics of a national city. Travelers arriving in its vast, ultra-modern airport are guided on what seems like an almost endless journey toward the outside world by a disembodied voice that speaks standard American English -- the Southern woman who recorded it having been instructed to purge her speech of any cornpone connotations.
