@NYC Traveler Reminds me of when I see "ER" clued for what I know as the "ED", emergency rooms not really being the norm in a typical hospital as it's really a department of a hospital much like "Labor and Delivery" or "Oncology", etc. I guess we have George Clooney to thank for the frequency of the R over the D.

@Chris Glad to see I wasn't the only one that thought of Joe Strummer and Mick Jones on the African fortress clue. That song was pretty ubiquitous on the radio in my youth. Surprised it didn't make it into the mentions in the Tricky Clues talk, even more surprised how deep I had to go in the comments to find someone who was simpatico on the reference. Cheers from your northern neighbor!

@Marshall Walthew Most law schools call it Professional Responsibility, I believe. Licensed attorneys need annual credits in Ethics education. I guess ‘close enough’ for a crossword clue.
