The others are Lansing, St. Paul, Austin, Raleigh, and Madison.<br /><br />I didn't get SAMIAM very quickly. I thought first of The Cat in the Hat, and briefly wondered if "thecAt" might be right.<br /><br />I liked this one.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-29698787719175382942019-05-02T04:19:44.414-04:002019-05-02T04:19:44.414-04:0013:38

I enjoyed the clues mentioned by Frannie, also, and was pleased to see SAMIAM right there at 1D, which gave me SUCH for 1A more quickly than I'd otherwise have figured it out. INSLANG was also nice, as was NOUGAT, and who doesn't love a touch of MAILFRAUD? I also enjoyed the clue for THIRTEEN (37D Missing button in many an elevator), although I don't love that the floor is often non-existent. Shouldn't we stop all of that nonsense?Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
