Puzzle by Jim Hyres, edited by Will Shortz
MILLE BORNES (17A. Game with “Out of Gas” cards); JASON BOURNE (58A. Robert Ludlum protagonist); FIRSTBORN (11D. Heir to a throne, typically), and WIND-BORNE (33D. Like the dust in a dust storm) are this Tuesday crossword’s interrelated entries.
DEDICATE, ENERGIES, PULL RANK and TANTRUMS also belong together. Get out the AIR TASER. Another group -- PROWL CAR, RAG TOPS and SEDAN. Also, TESTERS are familiar with a BELL JAR.
A few links -- MAGOO (42D. Myopic Mr.); I ROBOT (28A. Classic Isaac Asimov short-story); BENIN (41A. Nation once known as Dahomey) and 60A. Ugly as SIN.
