Lamb Unto My Feat
The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, Ghent Altarpiece Friday, June 5, 2009 Puzzle by Martin Ashwood-Smith, edited by Will Shortz This puzzle features four 15-letter entries -- AS GENTLE AS A LAMB, DEFINITE ARTICLE, STRAW MATTRESSSES and REMOVE ALL TRACES -- in a fairly gentle Friday get-away-day crossword. Crossing in the center of the puzzle sharing the letter H are NORTHEAST and RAILHEADS. After that group, the crossword is awash with seven-letter entries and their fair, but generally inscrutable clues. A few links -- MINSTER (1. Important church); TITANIC (54. 1912 headline name); IN EXILE (58 Like Victor Hugo when he finished “Les Misérables”); MOTHER (1. They deliver); ASCETIC (36. Like some monks); 45A. Street magician CRISS Angel; EVIL (44A. Foul). Have a good weekend!
