Puzzle by Harvey Estes, edited by Will Shortz
In today's crossword, PDA (34D. Handheld computer, or holding hands) is presented as the common abbreviation for two double entries: PUBLICDISPLAYOF (3D. With 6-Down, 34-Down) AFFECTION (6D. See 3-Down) and PERSONALDIGITAL (11D. With 35-Down, 34-Down) ASSISTANT (35D. See 11-Down).
I couldn't care less.
