PUBLISH OR PERISH (17A. College professor’s mantra), MAXFIELD PARRISH (38A. Highly collectible illustrator), any relation?, and LOUISIANA PARISH (59A. Lafayette or Orleans) cannot help but call attention to the surname of the constructor of this crossword -- deliberate? Perish the thought!
Monday links --
AWOLS (7D. Mil. Truants) and RENEGADE (41D. Deserter); AUNT (56D. See 39-Down) and FRITZI (39D. Nancy’s 56-Down in the comics); CASPAR (26D. One of the Wise Men); NO EXIT (24D. 1944 Jean-Paul Sartre play); ACELA (14A. High-speed train); 43A. OSAGE orange; 53D. TERRA incognita; OCHS (13D. Adolph who was chief of The New York Times from 1896 to 1935), speaking of publish or perish.
Oh, and HA HA (6D. LOL, out loud)!
