Good Title: How to Finish This Puzzle

Good Ones:

Inspired mixture   AIR

Manage moguls   SKI [not the businessmen]
Hall of talk   ARSENIO [remember when he said he would bury Leno?]
Theme: who perseveres and how

Perservere, like a lightning rod installer?   STANDYOURGROUND
Perservere, like a museum curator?   HANGINTHERE
Perservere, like a boxing promoter?   PUTUPAGOODFIGHT

Who knew?:

Some Nits to Pick:

By the Way:
I would have liked this puzzle even more if it weren’t for the arcane references and foreign words.  But I nevertheless enjoyed its cleverness.

RATING:   ;D ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
