However, "Simpson" was necessary because how else would one know it's Abe? 46A Paper Mate's Pink Pearl, e.g. (ERASER) was a nice clue for that oft-seen answer. I don't know if the grossest answer is SPUME or CYST; I guess it's a toss-up. PRIORY (48D Home to monks or nuns) is interesting for its unusualness. I'd probably add 17A to the Huygens material, but I never know where to draw the line....Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
