This week's puzzle (pdf, puz, pdf solution) is a relative rarity on this site: a straightforward early-week theme. I sent this to a couple of newspapers but they felt that 30-Across wasn't famous enough for Tuesday difficulty, so you get it here instead!
Considering she anchored a show on MSNBC and her high profile as an author and activist,seems weird to bounce it for 30A, especially with the boost of the theme.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's just what I was thinking - she was the inspiration for the theme, in fact.
DeleteAlso, she appeared in Erik Agard's New York Times puzzle on March 23rd.
ReplyDeleteYep, I guess it's official 30-Across week in the crossworld!
