I'm number three on falling for the COMMA thing, but unlike Colum, I don't know the movie well enough to name any character. How many different ways can the ILIAD be clued? We get another nice one today. LETHE is definitely Saturday fill. GALLOPS (38D Speeds through the Downs, say) had me thinking of solving a puzzle, so that was some excellent misdirection. And crosses saved me from an FWOE at 21D because I'd entered dRY at the across, but luckily TdOS didn't look quite right, so I changed it to WRY. Until I read Colum's review regarding TWOS, I was thinking of music and common time, but thought that was a terrible way to refer to 2/4 time (and what is a two note anyway?). I'm glad that this was referring to paper money instead; much better.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-47849479339978051172019-12-28T15:07:29.822-05:002019-12-28T15:07:29.822-05:00I loved it...and like you, I also fell for the COM...I loved it...and like you, I also fell for the COMMA clue!
