Express is a free daily newspaper distributed in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. It is in a tabloid format and is printed every weekday and distributed at Washington Metro stations and other locations throughout the Washington metropolitan area. It is owned and printed by The Washington Post Company, but few of the hard news stories are written by Washington Post staff. Many stories and pictures come from the Associated Press, the Christian Science Monitor, Getty Images and other wire sources. The features and entertainment part of the paper uses a number of reporters and boasts its own Web site, "Express Night Out". The newspaper is financed solely by advertising. Express debuted August 5, 2003.
The paper launched a redesign on November 30, 2009 which emphasized a more magazine-style front page, along with a daily cover story. In August 2010, the paper launched a mobile app, DC Rider, which is available for iOS (iPhone and iPod touch) and Android devices.

Subramanian Swamy (born 15 September 1939 in Chennai, India sometimes spelt Subramaniam Swamy) is an Indian politician, academician and an economist. He is the President of the Janata Party of India.

In November 1978, Swamy was member of the Group of Eminent persons called to Geneva to prepare a report of the United Nations (UNCTAD) on Economic Co-operation between Developing countries (ECDC).Swamy simplified trade procedures and formulated a new export strategy which became the forerunner of trade reform adopted subsequently. In 1994, Swamy was appointed as Chairman of the Commission on Labour Standards and International Trade by then Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao. This was perhaps for the first time that an Opposition Party member was given a Cabinet rank post by the ruling party.
