please keep this cryptic crossword out of the reach of impressionable children -- the psychological effects of prolonged profuse sweating, gutteral subvocalizations, and massive defoliation of the scalp have yet to be reliably determined by the analyst general. OTOH, you, dear mature reader, should have no difficulty solving it. if you do, you are welcome send in your solution and brag a bit. otherwise you'll just have to wait two weeks when i'll post the cc source and a reasonable answer set. enjoy. steve serocki { decvax ucbvax philabs };sdcsvax;sdccsu3;ix222 ------------------- +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ |1 | |2 | |3 | |4 | |###|5 |6 | |7 | |8 | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | |###| |###| |###| |###|###|###| |###| |###| | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ |9 | | | | | | | |###|10 | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | |###| |###| |###| |###|11 |###| |###| |###| | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ |12 | | | | |###|13 | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | |###| |###|###|###| |###| |###| |###|###|###| | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ |###|14 | | |15 | | |###|16 | | | |17 | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ |18 |###| |###| |###|###|###|###|###| |###| |###| | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ |19 | | | | | |20 |###|21 | | | | | |###| +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | |###|###|###| |###| |###| |###|###|###| |###|22 | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ |23 | |24 | | | | | | |###|25 | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | |###| |###| |###| |###| |###| |###| |###| | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ |26 | | | | | |###|27 | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | |###| |###| |###|###|###| |###| |###| |###| | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ |28 | | | | | |###|29 | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ The Neccessary Clews: ACROSS DOWN 1.
