		<description><![CDATA[Charles Deber&#8217;s New York Times crossword, &#8220;State Annexation&#8221; It finally happened. The Scowl-o-Meter went off too much and my face stuck that way. The theme entries all have cross-referenced clues, sending you on a wild goose chase to some small answer on the other side of the grid. Take the two-letter postal abbreviation for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Martin Ashwood-Smith&#8217;s New York Times crossword All right. I&#8217;ll be honest. I didn&#8217;t much care for this puzzle. The SACAGAWEA DOLLAR is cool, but when it comes to money in the puzzle, I could do without ever seeing ECU again. I liked REAL ESTATE AGENT last weekend (in the Saturday LAT), but now we have [...]]]></description>

(The latter is where 7d: [Russian ballerina Galina] ULANOVA hits 20a: ["Dove __" (Mozart aria)] SONO. I tried ULALOVA and SOLO first.) Tops on my Likes list: 1a. JIFFY LUBE! Fun brand name to say, nice 1-Across opener. Now, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gary Cee&#8217;s New York Times crossword You know what Monday-friendly theme you will see again and again? The four seasons. Lots of phrases start or end with WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, and FALL, and it&#8217;s a natural foursome that&#8217;s easy for a new solver to catch onto quickly. So the basic theme concept is reworked pretty [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a non-Biblical KING JAMES AVERSION, which is kind of amusing. No one can track down the RUNAWAY MODEL. The GENTLE &#8220;AMEN&#8221; doesn&#8217;t shout. The [...]]]></description>

Kind of an ugly clue for a centrally located revealer, but there it is. 17a. [*One who's an empty threat] PAPER TIGER. 29a. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Elizabeth Long&#8217;s New York Times crossword Cute rebus theme. Four symmetrically placed {JACK} squares (part of eight answers) are given purpose by the central answer pair: JACK IN / THE BOX. The 36a/39a pair are nice and Scrabbly, too. BLACK{JACK} meets {JACK} SPRAT. LUMBER{JACK} crosses {JACK}STRAW (my mystery item of the day). APPLE{JACK} parties with little {JACK} HORNER, [...]]]></description>
