Today's crossword was a shocker! Traditionally, the New York Times grids are designed so that answers can be no shorter than 3 letters and as a corollary no letter can be like, well, like the Z's at the end of 21A, Bolivian capital, LAPAZ, and beginning of 48A, Spaces (out), ZONES -- surrounded on 3 sides by black squares. Yet (gasp!), there they are. It's all in a good cause, however, because the entire grid is marked by a large Z in the center -- and there were multiple words with multiple Z's -- 17A, Raucous music style similar to boogie-woogie, BARRELHOUSEJAZZ, and 60A, Dish with tomatoes and mozzarella, OZZIEANDHARRIET. Amazzing!
