However, I somehow was able to pull out MESDAMES, even though I know very little French. Chuck LORRE is pretty famous, and I knew Georg SOLTI off of the clue. Getting GNOME and the other crosses in 9D led me to correct dICES to RICES, giving GREGG, which I determined made more sense than GdEGG (obviously I never heard of Coach GREGG Popovich). A nice Thursday puzzle, but it's well-known that I prefer a rebus.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
