Today's crossword featured a number of rare-ish answers, making this a bit crunchier than usual for a Sunday. Notable examples include 60A, Brooklyn art school, PRATT; 100D, Country that's more than 2,600 miles long, CHILE; 70A, Latin "Behold!", ECCE; and 20A, Character who lives on the "tippy-top floor" of the Plaza Hotel, ELOISE; and there's more, which you can see in the grid and hear about in today's podcast.

Just a reminder, solving the NYTimes Crossword is a proven strategy for reversing (and possibly learning how to spell) senescence, so wander over to nytimes.com/crosswords, subscribe, and you can start reversing today!
