LAT Sat. 5/19 Robert H. Wolfe

(1/1)

magus:
Possible Title: 35-Block Themeless

Good Ones:
Going rate?   CABFARE
Hitter of low pitches?   BASS
Collage application   PASTE [not college]

Who knew?:
PELHAM is Wodehouse’s first name.  (It’s a good name; wonder why he went with P.G. [before movie ratings])

Some Nits to Pick:
RESTEASY, EXPECTTO, and LETINON are common phrases; PROROMAN is not, and hiding it among them doesn’t help much.  DEADSLEEP doesn’t ring true even though it follows CALLSFORTH and ENETEREDINTO.  It seems a combination of “deep sleep” and “dead to the world.” 

Thirty-five blocks with no theme is not quite up to par for Saturday.

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