Puzzle by Harvey Estes, edited by Will Shortz
The main feature of this Friday’s crossword is two blocks of three 15-letter across totally unrelated entries:
The upper three -- DISH FIT FOR A KING (1. Unforgettable edible); INTERNAL REVENUE (16. Concern of a certain federal commissioner); ATOMIC SUBMARINE (17. Fission boat?). The lower three -- IN CONSIDERATION (58. On account [of]); TO A LESSER EXTENT (62. Not so much); STREET ADDRESSES (63. They’re usually even on one side).
A few links: PICNIC (52A. Take-out meal?); ALCOTTS (43D. 19th-century literary family in Massachusetts); SIMONE (48D. 2002 Al Pacino film); RENEE (51D. Longtime “Days of Our Lives“ actress Jones); BIBI (38D. Actress Andersson of “Persona”); LARA (30A. Her theme song was a 1966 hit); NUN (14D. Order member).
Overall, a distant crossword, distant and cold…
