Please let me know if this theme is workable:

Real estate headline? Property Debuted
Sorting sunshine? Sifting Rays
Role model at an AA meeting? Dry Standout
Title of this puzzle No ifs ands or buts
Without the if and or but in the answers you get the following:
Property Deed
Sting Rays
Dry Stout
Thanks for the input

Jeff,
I like the idea, but unless I'm missing something shouldn't the theme answers NOT have the "if" "and" "or" "but"? The theme reveler indicates there wouldn't be those letters in the answers. I would come up with good stand alone answers that have the "if" "and" etc removed. I think it would also be cool if you removed those words in the order of the phrase--i.e. take out "if" first.
In short, I like the theme idea, but the answers need to be reworked.
Hope this helps.

I have seen a puzzle with this theme. I'll try and post the book title and page number later if I can find it again.

This (http://www.xwordinfo.com/Crossword?date=5/10/1997) might be the puzzle Hoover is thinking of.
