From the Saturday Stumper

A nice touch in today’s Newsday Saturday Stumper, by Andy Kravis. The clue for 53-Across, seven letters: “They fill take-out orders.” No spoilers; the answer is in the comments.

Finishing the Saturday Stumper is always cause for minor self-congratulation.

  2. Snipers is a much better answer!

  3. Maybe, but you can imagine a constructor or editor staying away from it in light of recent events.
