I also agree with the pair of answers suggested as not too great by Frannie, but I have no problem with REORG; having a business background, to me that's a fairly common phrase, SOTHERE. I don't particularly like the EMAJ-type clues because no one really knows many keys to various pieces, so they're just filler letters for the most part. Nice clue for OEDS, even though there's that odd plural. I'm not familiar with the term (well, I am now) OLDNICK for the Devil.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-22806019108165941982015-06-15T20:15:15.894-04:002015-06-15T20:15:15.894-04:004:03

Perhaps it should have been clued as: What you are until proven guilty, according to 19A... except I think that's not actually true. Having just researched it, I find that the phrase was coined by Sir William Garrow (1760-1840).<br /><br />I agree with Frannie's unpleasing pair of answers, to which I will add REORG. Blah. Otherwise, most everything was acceptable.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
