Title: Sat., 7/26 Kevin Christian
Post by: magus on July 26, 2014, 09:00:55 AM
THEME:   none, but four triples and a cross in the middle
   
GOOD ONES:     
Singer's better half?   SIDE A   
Women's issue, familiarly  O MAGAZINE [remember when everything wasn't an issue but a problem or situation or dilemma?]   
Soprano group   MOB [I thought women --- not at The Bing!]   
Status chaser?   QUO   
   
BTW:   
Loved the centuries apart grid connection: Informer = STOOLIE; Get going = HIE   
   
Game attendees   CROWD [In England, maybe.  In America, CROWD is a collective noun (singular):  "The crowd is noisy."  So the clue should properly be "Game attendance" or "Attendance at the game."   
   
It isn't every constructor who builds his name into a puzzle, and at 1-Across while putting a symbol of his name in the center of the grid!
   
RATING: ;D ;D   
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
