ITSY BITSY SPIDER (63A. Determined one in a kid’s song), LEAVE IT TO BEAVER (15A. This and Sputnik 1 were launched on the same day), MEAT AND POTATOES (59A. Nitty-gritty) and SEEING-EYE SINGLE (17A. Soft ground ball that finds its way between infielders), each of 15-letters, are the main entries of this Saturday crossword, the solving of which might is akin to that little spider‘s ups and downs.
