I'm really glad to know that others thought it was as much of a bear as I did. I guess the NYT is randomly choosing the free puzzles from its archives. I can't imagine they resurrected this puzzle because they thought it had particular merit.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-67248984564762051292018-12-10T06:36:05.310-05:002018-12-10T06:36:05.310-05:00December 10, 2018 - This bear of a puzzle is one o...December 10, 2018 - This bear of a puzzle is one of the free puzzles in the NYT this week. It was fun to go back in time and read Rex's take and everyone's comments. And yes, it was a DNF for me, too.spartacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972357591657894088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-26941989531015477282006-11-26T18:33:00.000-05:002006-11-26T18:33:00.000-05:00Yes, SIG, not SIR.

Glad the site helped you with rest of the puzzle - the parts I didn't botch. Just so you know, I botch very few puzzles (or very few blog entries, anyway) after this one.<br /><br />RPRex Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145707733877505087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-5871004868840293692006-11-26T16:50:00.000-05:002006-11-26T16:50:00.000-05:00just to let you know... you said that M. equivalen...just to let you know... you said that M. equivalent was sir but it is actually sig as in signore. I think you had that as you must have got Auriga for Capella's constellation.<br /><br />Thanks for the help.

Your completed puzzle (with 38 across highlighted) will be on my wall.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the company started 50 or so years ago under the name American Research Bureau (ARB) when they measured TV. They had a set-top box they placed in people's homes and it became known as the ARBitron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-1160885025442738972006-10-15T00:03:00.000-04:002006-10-15T00:03:00.000-04:00Argus has been fickle.

I love how my best friend writes in *only* to tell me about errors and technical problems. <BR/><BR/>Casey Kasem gives me good and bad shivers thinking of the Top 40 radio of my youth. "And this week's #1 song is ... 'Reunited,' by Peaches & Herb!" "This Long Distance Dedication goes out to ... Sherry, in Great Neck, from Ronnie, in prison."
