Regarding the natick in the SW corner — I feel that the editors should not allow crossed proper names as a general rule. This is the Sunday version of the NYT crossword, the crème de la crème. I feel like the standards should be a bit higher. I respect anyone that can create a crossword, and I do not mean to take a shot at the constructor, but I do feel like, perhaps, the editors should step in at times. I admit that I really don’t know anything about what the editors actually do.

Super natick 86D 97A. Never thrilling to see those crossing proper names…. Otherwise a fun solve.
