Oddments:

It appears the LAT editors this week have abandoned their foray into easy and pedestrian puzzles in favor of more challenging ones.  I hope they include clever along with challenging.

At 21 Across we get "Like the healthiest corned beef."  The way I read it, the corned beef is healthy.  There was a time, but it appears past, that the beef was healthful because it crontribted to one's being healthy.  Even health industry ads have abandoned the distinction.  I suspect this is the end of Western Civilization, but perhaps I am just a bit too much vested in my learning.  :'(
