MARCH CRYPTIC CROSSWORD
by Will DaBeed
Please note that in this puzzle, the enumerations do not reflect multi-word entries. Answers are enumerated as the total number of letters (#), and are not broken down into individual words, e.g.(#,#). However, multi-word entries are indicated by an asterisk *. This makes the task of the solver more challenging but I think that enumerating the phrases would make the answers too easy to deduce. If you care to, post your comments on this to Dave's bulletin board or email me.
