In looking for an old document, I came across something I wrote for a puzzle column that was retired before this last effort published. I tried to paste it here but couldn’t seem to preserve the formatting; after a half hour, I decided it wasn’t worth the effort. Anyway, I’ll post it here, and put up the answers sometime next week. Posted only for fun, but I’d be happy to mail an LP or CD of my latest album to the person who gets the most correct answers, provided that person lives at an address that won’t force me to shell out for expensive international shipping.
