After yesterday's quagmire, today's crossword is (relatively) straightforward -- not easy by any stretch of the imagination, but there were enough toeholds in every area of the puzzle to give one hope. Jean, for instance, knew 27D, Figure skater Lipinski, TARA, in the center left of the crossword; 21D, Tony-winning musical written by Lin-Manuel Miranda during his second year of college, INTHEHEIGHTS, on the right side; 11D, It may keep you on your toes, BALLET, in the northeast corner;, and 45D, Painter and devotee of 11D, DEGAS, in the southwest. Mike knew, um, well, ... we'll get back to you on that. In the meantime, we give this crossword a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.We love feedback! Send us a text...Contact Info:We love listener mail!
