Puzzle by Leonard Williams, edited by Will Shortz
ERAS (14A. Historic periods) are left hanging by today’s four interrelated entries -- BACKINTHEDAY (41. Mom’s start), INYEARSGONEBY (56. Legend’s start), ONCEUPONATIME (20. Fairy tale’s start), WHENIWASABOY (34.Grandpa’s start) -- leaving the solver to supply the narrative.
Plenty of material awaits. A few links: ANAEROBE (11D. Bacterium that doesn’t need oxygen); SCIMITAR; VAMPIRE (5D. Anne Rice’s Lestat, for one); ARRAU (15A. Pianist Claudio); ORION (62A. Location of a starry belt); RICK and SAM.
Ah, memories!
