The division of the word LONG in three different ways in three entries is the subject of today’s four interrelated entries -- LONGDIVISION (55A. Arithmetic exercise … or what literally occurs in 20-, 33- and 40-Across?); LONESTARFLAG (20A. Sight at the Texas Capitol); LOBSTERFISHING (33A. It’s done in Maine waters); and LANCEARMSTRONG (40A. Athlete with four ESPY awards).
…and that's the long and the Shortz of it!
