I have no hopes that it will be a great puzzle, but I do have hopes that it will be a Big puzzle. I think it's print-only, so run out and get one for yourself. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the giganto-Holiday-crossword in the paper today. rank that wasn't in "M*A*S*H," I probably don't know it. Were there any LTGENs in "M*A*S*H"?
