A Sign of the (New York) Times

CAUTION: If you haven't done Sunday's New York Times crossword puzzle yet, STOP READING HERE!

From The Hankster's friend the crossword puzzle fanatic comes word of a sign of the (NY) Times. Phyllis Goldberg writes:

On Sundays, the Times magazine puzzle has a title that gives a clue to the clues. This week the title is "Political Positions" -- which turns out to mean that the letters "REP," "DEM," and "IND" are hidden in several of the answers. Maybe the Times is starting to get it.
