TUESDAY PUZZLE — I will freely confess that I am a bit biased toward this crossword by Ross Trudeau, and it’s not just because it was an entertaining puzzle. It also contains two things that I like, one of which I wrote about a while back. The revealer is simple, but the way it is represented in this puzzle theme is very clever. Tricky Clues1A: The “Home squatters?” in this puzzle are not people living in abandoned houses. They’re UMPS, because baseball umpires squat at home base.
