Today's crossword was a debut for Gene Louise De Vera, so a few lusty "huzzahs" would not be out of place. The grid had some interesting features: we liked the the juxtaposition of 39D, Children's author Asquith, ROS, and 40D, "Hel-l-lp!", SOS. We were pleased to see the presence of 19A, "The Gift of the Magi" writer, OHENRY, and had hoped to also see OHHENRY, the chocolate bar, but we'll settle for a small glass of 48D, Dessert drink made with frozen grapes, ICEWINE.

All in all, a fine crossword, and we give it a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.

Besides the crossword, we also have a spot of delightful listener mail, so check it out!

Show note imagery: MARA Rooney, in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
