The Face on the Barroom Floor Wednesday, March 11, 2009
Puzzle by Caleb Madison, edited by Will Shortz
BAR (58D. Judging by their names, where the answers to the four starred clues might be found?), along with DONALD RUMSFELD (20A. *Bush cabinet member who resigned in 2006), AMY WINEHOUSE (26A. *Her “Rehab” won a Grammy for Song of the Year), WALLACE BEERY (45A. *Best Actor winner for “The Champ,” 1931) and NATALIE PORTMAN (54A. *”Star Wars” actress who’s a Harvard grad), are the interrelated entries of this Wednesday crossword.
AGE LIMIT (5D. What some amusement park rides have), given an appropriate clue, might join the aforementionend group, along with an Animal-House style DORM ROOM (40D. Stereotypically messy digs); certainly a BLUE MONDAY (10D. 1957 Fats Domino hit) after a lost weekend, and ABSOLUTELY (26D. “No doubt!”), OASTS (14A. Places for hops).
And the face on the barroom floor…?
