To the constructor: "Library of Congress?" as a clue for KAMA SUTRA is fantastic. I think the editors should have kept that one!
I LOVED this! Thank you so much, Dan Caprera!
@Jacqui The only food I've ever heard referenced as "liquid gold" is schmaltz, which is chicken fat.
@Deb (putting on my pedant hat -- if it ever comes off): I think you mean "grisly" (e.g. certain horror movies or TV scenes) rather than "grizzly" (type of bear).
@Ioana Based on having the "RSE" at the end, I was delighted with myself when I arrived at REVERSE for [Back in the race?]. F1 or Indy vs. political race. I still think it's a great clue for that answer, too!
@Francis Chef Chu's is at 1067 N. Antonio Road in Los Altos. <a href="https://www.chefchu.com" target="_blank">https://www.chefchu.com</a>/ I remember going there on a date in the 90's! Great food.
@Oliver It would not work at all in the US -- any child hearing that would pick up a single one (out of likely dozens if not hundreds) -- as MOL already noted!
@sotto voce And Derek Trucks in there too!
@Ellen The answer to the Disney titular character is still titular because although the name itself is not in the title of the movie, the title of the Disney movie describes her.
@Mr Dave You don’t click it (or click on it), but the stapler itself makes a clicking sound as it accomplishes its task. That’s what the clue is referring to/playing on.
@john ezra TONERSTONER is awesome, too! Not inferior.
@Bill Thank you for posting this! The same newspaper that publishes this crossword had a close read essay about this exact poem, with close-ups and a full view of the Icarus painting (and another Brueghel painting of the nativity). Very cool. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/03/06/books/auden-musee-des-beaux-arts.html" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/03/06/books/auden-musee-des-beaux-arts.html</a>
@Roger OH. MY. GOD. Thank you thank you thank you!
@Cat Lady Margaret As Strudel Dad noted, it's sleekit, not sleeken. But even if it were sleeken, the poet used it as an adjective, not a verb.
@HeathieJ ! I read one of the Mary Westmacotts after reading straight through all the novels under her own name (the first one of which was given to me when I was about 12 by our beloved public library's children's librarian, Myra Morales -- it was "Hallowe'en Party." One Westmacott was enough, so I didn't read any more of those... Christie's autobiography is excellent, and so is "Come, Tell Me How You Live."
@Bethany Me either! My immediate thought was "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
@john ezra So good I had to comment! I LOL'd too.
