SYZYGY! i know it’s not a theme answer, but how awesome is it that julian was able to shoehorn it into the fill of this particular puzzle? above and beyond it just being an awesome word, i mean.

While Ms. Fonteyn, immensely talented, perhaps was a household name due to appearing (if memory serves) on the Ed Sullivan Show, I don’t think you can ignore Sylvie Guillem. Waching her dance Cinderella, later made into a Great Performances telecast, was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

Nice how the CS puzzle ends with EXPOS on the day Andre Dawson gets elected to the Hall Of Fame.

I also did not know about GST. Live and learn. I also did not know about Sepoy. My biggie is Sync Trysts. Ugh. No like. My fav: syzygy. I love that word.

i was onto the GMT v. GST quandary from the start and left the middle letter blank until seeing SERENA emerge and so went with the latter.

questionable (if defensible) fill in a puzzle as strong as this simply goes with the territory some days; but scholarly and anecdotal attributions aside, something still seems more than a tad “inside-ereal” with said defenses…

OH, man. That Williams sister clue. I just now got that. I so overthought that one, I was stymied as to who Venus’s sister was in mythology. Is that a sign I’ve done too many crossword puzzles?

However, not enough to discern GMT vs. GST. I had all the puzzle filled in, but it kept telling me there was an error, and this morning, I learned that was it.
