Rex Parker in the News — four squares can be either an "F" or an "M" (47D: Bank robber Willie who co-wrote "Where the Money Was") — William Francis "Willie" Sutton, Jr. (June 30, 1901 – November 2, 1980) was an American bank robber. During his forty-year criminal career he stole an estimated $2 million, and he eventually spent more than half of his adult life in prison and escaped three times. For his talent at executing robberies in disguises, he gained two nicknames, "Willie the Actor" and "Slick Willie".

Sutton is also known as the namesake of Sutton's law, although he denied originating it. In ascending square number order, I had MFFF. I wonder what others had. The question is probably at least partially tainted for many people, who will have realized before finishing what the gimmick was. Still, I'm curious what people's, uh, tendencies were. This puzzle got a *lot* of hype. The house blog tweeted: And I got interviewed by Slate about it (article here). I don't understand the hype, and I think the fact that there *is* hype shows you how behind-the-times and stale the NYT has been of late. This is a "Schrödinger"-type puzzle (where two different letters work for the same square—the 1996 election-day CLINTON / BOBDOLE crossword is probably the most famous iteration of this theme)—this is cool but not new. It's really only the revealer, the central answer, that makes the puzzle particularly contemporary and noteworthy. There's the added bonus of having QUEER be clued in reference to sexuality (as opposed to "oddness") (55D: Part of L.G.B.T.Q.), but none of this feels terribly boundary-pushing.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the concept, but it plays like an easy themeless with good, not great, fill. jiro dreams of sushi (documentary 2011)I solved the puzzle early, with Ben's original (i.e. the pre-edited) clues, and I liked those better than the NYT's version, but that's hardly surprising, since I like the puzzle Ben edits (American Values Club Crossword) much better than the NYT, on average.where to get sushi grade fish chicago If this is true:how to make sushi rice with mirinHow is that even possible? ichiban sushi menu in lebanon

What year is it? how to cut sushi fish nigiriAgain, the puzzle is clever, but the NYT doesn't get points for coming around to the acknowledgment of queerness / gender fluidity so belatedly. order sushi kingstonIndie puzzles have acknowledged and played around with and built entire puzzles around LGBTQ topics for years. sushi tei bali indonesiaI'm glad the NYT is warming up to the concept of inclusivity, but tick tock. Further, to get technical for a sec, having squares that toggle to one of two options (i.e. between binary elements) is not very "fluid." Also, that damned "F" in the revealer is bugging the hell out of me. Why won't it toggle!? Make SURM Great Again (for the first time)! The only trouble I had with this puzzle was SUTTON (both Ben's and the NYT's clues referred to people I'd never heard of) (47D: Bank robber Willie who co-wrote "Where the Money Was") (Ben had [Percy of civil rights activism]).

And then the clue on TORO was baffling to me (16A: Fatty tuna part, at a sushi restaurant), and LOW ART was slow to come (11D: Kitsch, e.g.) (in Ben's version, the clue referred to porn). This was a clever, enjoyable puzzle, but not as controversial as some seem to think it is, and certainly not worthy of any aren't-we-progressive self-congratulation on the Times' part. Signed, Rex Parker, King of CrossWorld P.S. apparently the gimmick eluded many people, with some expecting the "X" squares to ... do something. P.P.S. in an awesomely unintentionally sexist turn of events, AcrossLite (my solving software) only recognized the grid as "correct" if you filled in an "M" (or an "MF").

WSJ (Friday) 12:33 (pannonica) Mary Lou Guizzo’s New York Times crossword This one played a little harder than the usual Friday themeless, no? Mary Lou’s grid is anchored by a matrix of six 15s:

17a. [Similar], OF THE SAME STRIPE. 53a. [Very close], ON INTIMATE TERMS. 3d. [Something that’s brilliant], A STROKE OF GENIUS. 5d. [Longtime food product with a mascot in a cowboy hat], HOSTESS TWINKIES. Twinkies … have a mascot? And it wears a cowboy hat? This isn’t feeling remotely familiar! 9d.

A lot of progressives want her to run for the Madam President job. These 15s range from solid to lively. They’re surrounded by some good stuff—CLEAN SWEEP, TARZAN, SNOWDEN, NO FUN, Jimmy CHOO (no fair complaining about this one if you don’t complain about all the sports- and car-related stuff that perfuses crosswords), and WAHOO—but also some blah entries. OCULI, CERT., SUR-, awkward END IN, crosswordese town BARI, RETAG, things of that stripe.

Jacob Stulberg’s Chronicle of Higher Education crossword, “Double Booked” — pannonica’s write-upTook me a while to fully appreciate this crossword’s theme. It’s a Schrödinger puzzle!

Four theme answers, the last as revealer: 49a [British novelist whose most famous protagonist can be found at the beginning of answers to the starred clues] HENRY FIELDING*.

Sometimes in a packet, never in a PARCEL (30d). So we have the eponymous Tom Jones, widely considered to be one of the first and greatest prose novels in English, published in the middle 18th century. But, but … what’s BRIDGET doing here? It’s well-known, or at least I hope it’s well known, that BRIDGET Allworthy-Blifil—and not Jenny JONES—turns out to be TOM JONES’ mother. ‘Tom (and) Bridget Jones’? ‘Tom (or) Bridget Jones’? What’s going on here? Both are British authors. The crossing downs are thus 51d [Midcourt sights at Wimbledon] NETS / LETS; 45d [Staple of high-fiber diets] BEAN / BRAN; 43d [Part of a conjugation in Spanish 101] SOY / SON (the two are from the infinitive ser). I was at a severe disadvantage, as my experience with Bridget Jones’s Diary—that late 20th century novel—is intentionally minimal. Ditto the film adaptation and the sequels. STRANGE (5d), I thought to myself, that I’d never noticed—or had brought to my attention—the nominal similarities of authors and protagonists.

Is this common knowledge, or novel insight on Stulberg’s part? More thoughts: Is the picaresque Bridget Jones in part homage to Tom? Is Helen Fielding a pseudonym? Wait, didn’t I once learn that the Bridget Jones’s Diary was in essence a contemporization of Pride and Prejudice, a different canonical British novel? For the record, Helen Fielding is not a pseudonym and BJD is indeed a retelling of Jane Austen’s P&P. Bridgetown was renamed from the Town of Saint Michael in 1824; George Washington slept there (in 1751, just after Tom Jones). 10d [“Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal” cartoonist Weiner] ZACH.

Randall J. Hartman’s CrosSynergy/Washington Post crossword, “Maid to Order”—Ade’s write-upToday’s crossword puzzle, brought to us by Mr. Randall J. Hartman, involves five theme answers in which the first word of each answer could also precede the word “maid.” (17A: [2000 Renée Zellweger film]) – I thought I was pretty familiar with Renée’s movies, but this didn’t come to me quickly at all. (37A: [1977 chart-topper by The Eagles]) (54A: [Beatles album that features “Michelle”]) (62A: [One of Mickey’s arms on a Mickey Mouse watch]) Again, can’t stay too long, but one point and one suggestion. The point being that I had never heard of the word POOP used in that sense before, and was the last answer to…umm, drop (15A: [Skinny]). The suggestion is this: If you haven’t read it, here’s an amazing review of the 2015 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, appearing on the data-driven journalism web site FiveThirtyEight and written by Oliver Roeder, who couldn’t have depicted the tournament and the men and women (and machine) who made the magic happen any better!

Somehow, I appear in this article as well, albeit very briefly. That fact makes me feel weird, as being mentioned in the same story with the crossword puzzle illuminati of the world could be considered blasphemy on any other day and occasion. But give it a read, and believe me, you won’t be disappointed. “Sports will make you smarter” moment of the day: ALONZO (10D: [NBA Hall of Famer Mourning]) – Although he went to my rival school (Georgetown), I guess I’ll give former NBA player ALONZO Mourning some props. Though best known for being a two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and a force in the middle for the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat, but, in 2003, maybe the most memorable moment in ‘Zo’s career (and life) happened in 2003, when he initially had to retire from the game because of a life-threatening kidney disease. Jason Cooper, a relative whom he had not seen in 25 years, was tested for compatibility and proved to be a matched. Not too long after, Cooper donated his left kidney to Mourning, allowing Alonzo to continue his NBA career and continue living a healthy life.
