Watch Your S!
ASPISH (24-Down, Venomous, as a snake) Monday, September 14, 2009 Puzzle by Bernice Gordon, edited by Will Shortz OLIVERSTONE (17A. Film director’s sound?), MARGARETSANGER (26A. Birth control advocate’s fury?), GEORGESHEARING (43A. Jazz pianist’s court appearance?) and TOMSMOTHERS (57A. Comedian’s parents?) are the interrelated group of this Monday crossword, e.g., well-known names shifting an S from the last name to the first, to become a possessive. Hmmm…how about NICKSWISHER (Well for a baseball player?). A few Monday links -- CREMONA (10D. Onetime center of Italian violin manufacture), STTERESA (20A. Nun from Avila), MULAN (42A. 1998 Disney film set in China), USA and USSR. Watch your S!
