If Saturday's crossword was a main course, this was definitely dessert, somewhere between flan and merengue pie, that ought to SATE those looking for a COMFIER puzzle. It had a lot of fun cluing, like 55A, Square things (ATONE) and 53D, Rest of the afternoon? (SIESTA). Jean cruised through it as usual, Mike assumed that, on the basis of NA, that 18D, Mission-driven org., would be NATO; alas, no.
There were some cute touches. For example, the puzzle was titled "PI R Squared", and AREA made an appearance; and both MANUAL and ONAUTO popped up. And yesterday OLMANRIVER made an appearance, and today the subject of that song, MISSISSIPPIRIVER, flowed in. All in all, a nice puzzle, 5 on the JAMCR scale.
