My Sunday paper has "GO WITH THE FLOW" for the topic of the New York Times Crossword. I rely on your answers to complete the crossword. I'm getting better and I only have to check to complete it. Your answers for Oct 7, 2007 are for the topic "POLITICAL POSITIONS". Did my paper (the Pittsburgh Post Gazette) print the wrong crossword?

Hi, Denny. I'm afraid I have no idea. Can anyone else answer this?

[Peggy]

I think it depends on which paper you are reading. Many delay publishing the puzzle by a week or so. For example, Seattle Times published Political Positions on 10/21.

The Victoria Times-Colonist published it on the 21st also.
