Tuesday, May 14, 2024 - Bring on the TRUNKSHOW!

Alex Eaton-Salners, a grizzled veteran with 67 (!) NYTimes crosswords to his credit, has produced a fine Tuesday crossword for our edification and entertainment. There was a fine theme and excellent surrounding cast of clues, including a few that we couldn't squeeze into the podcast: 58A, Wharton or Sloan, informally, BSCHOOL (only its 3rd appearance in the NYTimes); 47D, Floral subject for Van Gogh, IRISES (ah, we can smell them from here!) ; and last but not least, 40A, Idealogical split, SCHISM (not fans of the concept, but we do enjoy saying it)Besides the crossword, it's Triplet Tuesday, and Jean does ... nope, you'll have to download to find out how she did.Show note imagery: Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, wearing CORONETsWe love feedback!
