This was a Saturday crossword where every clue looked like it was hand-crafted with passion and precision: if the Loeuvre is ever looking for a crossword to hang up next to the Mona Lisa, they could do worse than pick this one.

Even after our extensive dive into the grid in the podcast, we couldn't squeeze in all the gems.  For instance, 23A, They arose from Ra's tears, according to Egyptian mythology, BEES (BEEautiful)!); 9A, African capital whose name translates to "ants", ACCRA (huh!); and the fun-to-say 58A, Hibernation stations, DENS. 

We hope that Adrian Johnson and Christina Iverson's next collaboration comes out ... tomorrow!
