WEDNESDAY PUZZLE Happy Pride month to all who celebrate!
And happy New York Times Crossword debut to Jesse Goldberg, who brings us this timely puzzle. It’s a solid, well-made grid that shows us how a constructor can make a crossword with a fascinating theme and still manage to get this columnist all choked up.
Sorry, let me try that again. Make that: “It’s a solid, well-made grid that shows us how a constructor can make a crossword with an interesting theme and still remember a pivotal occasion in a meaningful way.”
Actually, both work. Welcome, Mr. Goldberg.
