I did that same puzzle in the Philadelphia Inquirer, so I'll abstain.

Did you do the whole puzzle? I was able to complete it, but there was one answer that I got (by filling in the other clues) that didn't make sense to me. It was "Street to a Venetian" and I ended up with RII.

Does that make sense? Did you get something different?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't recall, and I'm goofing off on so many things right now.
