Most crossword answers are black-and-white - but today's grid had a slew of them in gray, as part of an intricate theme involving cut classes (listen to Jean's stellar explanation for all the deets). There seemed to be a plethora of people populating the grid, such as 117A, Michael _______ of "Ugly Betty", URIE, 125A, "Spy Kids" actress Hatcher, TERI, 115D, Children's book author Blyton, ENID, 16D, Thompson of "Sorry to Bother You", TESSA, 51D, Muralist Riviera, DIEGO, 94D, Human rights lawyer Clooney, AMAL, and the list goes on and on and on! Fortunately, for those not up on modern(ish) culture, the crosses were genuinely helpful. For that truly gray (um, we mean great) theme, we  give this a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.We love feedback!
