Today's crossword was a tad easier than yesterday's -- Jean did it somewhat more quickly, and Mike cleaved an astonishing 2h30m off of his Friday time 😎.While not as difficult as some Saturdays, the clues were still quite interesting -- 17A, Marked by stately beauty, JUNOESQUE, 19A, Accessory that might have a netsuke attached, OBI, and the possibly contractually-obligated Simpsons reference, 46D, __________ Hayden, actress who voices Milihouse on "The Simpsons", PAMELA. [If they start asking about animators, we are going to be in serious trouble!]Finally, we would be remiss if we didn't note the  nice juxtaposition of 35D, Everyman, JOESCHMO, and 66A, Nil, JACKSQUAT.A fine Saturday, thanks to excellent writing and eagle-eyed editing by Trenton Charlson and Will Shortz, respectively.We love feedback!
