Also did not have the last name for <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niles_Crane" REL="nofollow"> NILESCRANE</A> or <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Saint-Sa%C3%ABns" REL="nofollow">Camille Saint-SAENS</A>. Very clever puzzle.

Even then, I was wrong. <BR/><BR/>Because I had STA instead of STN, IN THE CORNER never fully appeared. I had _athecorner, worried it to death and still neither figured out my error, nor saw the 4 Ws in the corners. <BR/><BR/>Also had Kasha instead of KASHI even though I eat KASHI bars pretty much every day of my life. <BR/><BR/>NILES CRANE - favorite answer. According to Jim's database, it's only been an answer once before. Also PARD. Loved the inventiveness of the whole puzzle despite my brain lapses. Oh yeah, TOILET WATER! <BR/><BR/>One nit - don't know why the Canadian loonie was sporting the "unnecessary quotation marks." That's what it's called! <BR/><BR/>Best cross - UDDERS and TANDOOR, but also liked the WHO and WHEW. Those are always fun.wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899889818724088564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-5831292445814728552008-06-03T06:19:00.000-06:002008-06-03T06:19:00.000-06:00Oops!

Kasha is another name for buckwheat groats. KASHI is the cereal. Enjoy your time with Elaine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
