And that&#8217;s plenty if you ask me, though this particular quote is perfectly fine: Confucius said,&#8221;REAL KNOWLEDGE IS / TO KNOW THE EXTENT / OF ONE&#8217;S IGNORANCE.&#8221; This is more eloquent than [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[Patrick Berry&#8217;s New York Times crossword Patrick Berry, a 64-word grid, long answers stacked four or five rows deep in every corner, and hardly any 3- or 4-letter answers? How can you go wrong? Well, for starters, it was somehow crazy-easy for me, taking just two seconds longer than the Thursday puzzle, which in turn [...]]]></description>

Unusual grid pattern, with paired 15s framing all four sides, with mitered corners around them made of 7-letter answers. A fair number of answers in the &#8220;Wha…?&#8221; and &#8220;Eh&#8221; categories. I bungled 47a and had ANSWERED TO TO ONE crossing MITN, and it took [...]]]></description>
