Puzzle by Randy Sowell, edited by Will Shortz
TOSS A SALAD (20A. Fix part of dinner with lettuce), PITCH A TENT (58A. Prepare to camp), CAST A VOTE (10D. Participate on Election Day) and THROW A FIT (36D. Show childish anger) are this Monday crossword’s interrelated entries. Included is a BRAT (1D. Kid with frequent temper tantrums) to execute the activity of 36D and a crew of CHEFS (48A. Food Network stars) to take care of 20A. Is KERRY (71A. Bush’s 2004 opponent) fair game for 10D, or PATCH (30D. Where watermelons grow) a match for PITCH?
More Monday links: CRESCENT (41D. Moon shape); CHISOX (48D. Longtime Comiskey Park team, informally); SPACEK (49D. Sissy of “Carrie”); LOOFAH (38D. Sponge used in a 39-Across); AKITA (32D. Japanese dog); PETCO (40A. Retail giant selling dog food, birdcages and such); …and EXIT!
