I have to admire a puzzle that manages to include the names of SANTA Claus, MONA Lisa, Buster CRABBE and MRROGERS. Would it be possible for someone to create a puzzle in which all the across answers (or all the down answers) are names of famous people? Perhaps names of actors could appear in the puzzle that's published on the day when the Academy Awards show is telecast. I think that would be a fun theme.
