And, RICO is the fairly well-reported anti-racketeering, organized crime statute to which I have long maintained the Catholic church ought to be subject for its organized effort to move priests thereby allowing them to continue to commit abuse crimes.

Also, I had PEsIT instead of PETIT - had I just read the across clue I would have fixed that one. 49D Suitable job? made me think of a sailor suit for some reason. Dumb. Anyway, it was fine for a Friday.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-86366348890474794032014-08-29T22:14:31.729-04:002014-08-29T22:14:31.729-04:00I hear you.

We're hanging on to the old version for as long as we can, which should be until sometime in mid-December, when we have to renew our subscription. Why can't they make a decent app? They are the New York Times for chrissake! Oh well... I suppose I think the same of Harvard, who can't seem to make a beautiful web interface for their digital images. Why not?!?Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-77875005147267501892014-08-29T21:15:54.808-04:002014-08-29T21:15:54.808-04:00Somewhere around 20 minutes (unclear because I fou...Somewhere around 20 minutes (unclear because I found out that when you go to the home screen of your iPad, when you open the NYT crossword app again, the timer is reset to zero). I didn't like this one much either. I agree about the clue for CROWDSOURCE, but I liked ANDTHENSOME fine. An awful lot of football: I liked the Bo Jackson pair of clues and Dick LEBEAU, but who are these other people? EMLEN Tunnell? RERI Grist? That's even a name? RONELY?! MARIACALLAS was nice, though. That makes several puzzles this week I didn't like. Let's hope tomorrow is a better day.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
