The Person With Two Faces, Copyright Eugene Ivanov ----------------- Sunday, September 27, 2009 THAT IS TWO SAY, Puzzle by Patrick Berry, Edited by Will Shortz Thirteen squares scattered willy-nilly across this gimmick crossword contain two letters each. Read in one direction, the two letters are simply two letters -- in the other , they are to be read aloud, resulting in phonetics, e.g., CU (see you), DK (decay), SA (essay), DM (diem), ED (Edie), KT (Katy), AT (Eighty), XS (excess), EZ (easy), KC (Casey), QP (Kewpie), IV (ivy) and NV (envy). It’s a mess! ----------------- For today’s cartoon, go to The Crossword Puzzle Illustrated.

Jacob Riis, How The Other Half Lives. I read it way back when, (in Queens College in 1974). I still have images of the pictures.
"Recently a man, well qualified to pass judgment, alluded to Mr. Jacob A. Riis as "the most useful citizen of New York". Those fellow citizens of Mr. Riis who best know his work will be most apt to agree with this statement. The countless evils which lurk in the dark corners of our civic institutions, which stalk abroad in the slums, and have their permanent abode in the crowded tenement houses, have met in Mr. Riis the most formidable opponent ever encountered by them in New York City." -- President Theodore Roosevelt
