@Rex, thanks for another heads-up. I assume it's no coincidence, but I've been working on the second Sunday puzzle ("Going Too Far" by Eric Berlin) and it uses the same gray-square device. Still (after dinner+drinks+eons) have six empty squares and some questionables, and don't have all of the Updike quotation yet. Is NYT escalating in response to the LAT, I wonder?
The squares were so small that I scanned the puzzle and put it on my living room wall with an overhead projector. Worked great til I got to those two long downs...oh oh.
