Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Today's Wednesday crossword was on the harder side of the spectrum, but it included some fascinating facts. For example, did you know 10D, Creatures that have the densest fur of any mammal (up to 1 million hairs per square inch), SEAOTTERS? Or 21A, One of 20 on the Titanic, LIFEBOAT? The main theme, however, revolved around authors, whose names were ordinary words with E's attached, inserted into appropriate phrases, e.g., 17A, Clamoring for "The Bonfire of the Vanities", CRYINGWOLFE. Amazinge! We give it a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.
