Sunday, April 12, 2009 FITTING WORDS, Puzzle by Eric Berlin, edited by Will Shortz SQUARE PEGS (65A. Things that may not go in 69-Across) and ROUND HOLES (69A. See 65-Across), along with ten four-square circles containing P, E, G and S are the interrelated entries of this Easter Sunday crossword -- the electronic and the print editions of the crossword are different in the allocation of the circles -- there is a circle for each letter of the PEGS in the electronic and one large circle covering four squares containing the letters P, E, G and S in the dead-tree. In any event, everything "fits."That aside, this is a fairly generic Sunday crossword -- links for the day: 89A. “Farewell, ANGELINA” (Dylan song popularized by Joan Baez); SHESGONE (46A. 1976 top 10 hit for Hall & Oates); SLAMDANCE (59A.
