Your crossword combat and the wonderful word...Hal,<br /><br />Your crossword combat and the wonderful wordplay in the Guardian puzzle reminded me that for too brief a time while I was at the SF Examiner, I was Merl Reagle's puzzle editor at the Sunday magazine. He lived elsewhere (Florida?) and had not risen to his current level of fame, but his puzzles were among the most inventive I've ever seen. And we shared a love for the old Max Fleischer Superman cartoons from the '40s.<br />--rickR.Clogherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784985626057840905noreply@blogger.com
