Schizophrenia (pronounced /ˌskɪtsəˈfriːniə/), from the Greek roots schizein (σχίζειν, "to split") and phrēn, phren- (φρήν, φρεν-, "mind")
DECIS (15A. With 16-Across, boxing result, often) and ION (15A. With 16-Across, boxing result, often); PERSON (23A. With 24-Across, curious case in psychology) and ALITY (24A. See 23-Across); SEC (38A. With 39-Across, instant) and OND (39A. See 38-Across); INFIN (48A. With 50-Across, grammatical infelicities) and ITIVES (50A. See 48-Across); THE (62A. With 63-Across, go Dutch) and CHECK (63A. See 62-Across) are the interrelated entries of this Thursday crossword.
In the newspaper itself, the above entries are clued in a different manner as opposed to that in AcrossLite, the software program at THE NEW YORK TIMES -- Crossword Puzzles and Games used here to print out and solve puzzles, which program disallows unusual numbering of clues.
The newspaper cluing -- Across: 15 & 16 Boxing result, often; 23 & 24 Curious case in psychology; 38 & 39 Instant; 48 & 50 Grammatical infelicities; 62 & 63 Go Dutch. So, between the two mediums, a further touch of schizophrenia! -------------------
