Friday, July 17, 2009 Puzzle by Doug Peterson and Barry C. Silk, edited by Will Shortz There’s a lot of variety in this breeze of a puzzle, including the got-it-from-WET entry of SLIPPERY WHEN WET (36A. Highway caution) and the something-I-knew KENTUCKY COLONEL (8D. Honorary title bestowed on Bill Clinton, Muhammad Ali and Mae West), the two 15-letter entries sharing their Y in the center of this Friday crossword of a fist-full of long entries. A few Friday links -- COLD HARBOR (24D. Site of Robert E. Lee’s last victory); CORPULENT (17A. Having a lot to lose?); REPOTS (32D. Does a nursery job); ARIEL (16A. Moon of Uranus); HALLE (6D. Berry with juicy parts?); COME / ONTO (24 With 54-Down, approach with a line). Have a good weekend!
