Hopefully the author of today's terrific. crossword, Daniel Larsen, was paid by the letter, because there were a very small number of black squares in today's grid , which featured 7 clues that ran the entire width of the puzzle, and 1 that ran the entire height. At first blush, then, the crossword looked daunting - a sea of white squares - but fortunately (some of) the crosses were merciful. For instance, 46D, Two-legged stand, BIPOD, and 50D, Police dept. alerts, APBS, would be familiar to anyone who has been solving the New York Times crossword for a while. Some of the more novel clues included 41D, Trump is named in it, EUCHRE (nice indirection, there!), the keen observation 37A, Many national anthems, WARSONGS, and the amusing 44A, Something you're not likely to fork out?, SOUP 😀.
