Post by: magus on September 11, 2012, 08:55:39 AM

Possible Title: Media Medics

Theme: first words of phrases are names of pop culture “doctors”

Good Ones:
Brief titles for {theme}   DRS [and it’s the last entry]
Hold holdings   CARGO

By the Way:
NOTAR seems as if it should be “low tar.”  Can they make cigs. without tar?

Some Nits to Pick:
EQUA as the abbreviation of Ecuador.  Maybe some list has it, but I’d have to see a reputable reference cite it.  Till then, I’m not buying it.

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

The clue answer is ECUA. It crosses SLICE.
A nit to pick: Barcelona gold would be OR. Calatan is the language of Barcelona.

Thanks for noticing, gentlemen.  I had it right on my puzzle but typed it wrong on the post.  Do you think I need an editor?  ???
