Friendly notes for Wordplay column editors: 1. “They drift down from the top of the grid, and several help delineate a spacecraft whose nose cone is a little triangle of black squares that appear beneath 79-Down.” I don’t see a 79-Down in today’s puzzle. 2. “(I might be alone here, but I first thought this entry was “all systems go.” Fitting, but too straightforward for the theme.)” An odd parenthetical to include given that the clue reads, “Woo-hoo! The engines are firing, all systems are go, and we are feeling good!” Good puzzle. Enjoyed solving!

Congrats, Sam - you’re great!

Just curious. Do any law schools call it “Civil Procedures” plural?

Marvelous!

Was the typo at 52A intended to be a part of the April Fool’s Day festivities? Does it appear in the print edition?
