from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
Jean tears through today's crossword like it's a Monday, while Mike takes a more TORTOISE-like approach, hindered by a lack of knowledge, spelling, and in some tragic cases, both. The clues themselves are minor works of art (see: 31D, Study pills, PLACEBOS, and 30D, Air traveler in early winter, SANTA), but even some of the juxtapositions are worthy of note -- RUSHERS next to TORTOISE, PINACOLADA next to TEETOTALER, that's craftsmanship, right there!A terrific 5 squares on the JAMCR scale, and we hope to see more of Nam Jin Yoon's work sometime soon!We love feedback!
