Title: LAT Sun. 3/22 Mike Peluso

GOOD ONES!   GOOD ONES!   GOOD ONES!

"Man after Manning"   PASSRUSHER
"Lab protection group?"   ASPCA
"Fast conclusion?"    EASTER
"Rural agreement"   YESM

Rather than using "et. al." or "and others" when a final -s is needed for a name, why not use "of" before the clue name?  For example, "Of Helmsley" for LEONAS and "Of an NHL great" for ORRS. 

In my reading I have come across nary a yegg, but they lurk a plenty in Xwords.

AOKAY is not aok or okay.

IMO "Lab protection group" should be clued without the ? - I don't think "laboratory" is any more natural than "Labrador" in such a clue.
