Today’s Saturday Stumper

Today’s Newsday  Saturday Stumper is by “Lester Ruff,” Stan Newman offering an easier puzzle. I didn’t find the puzzle especially easy or especially satsifying. See 60-A.

Some clue-and-answer pairs of note:

1-A, ten letters, ”Treatment you won’t take lying down.” Kinda arcane?

8-D, fifteen letters, ”What got Welles on Page One.” Well, okay.

14-D, eight letters, “Where Cash recorded ‘A Boy Named Sue.’” Um, no. The place has, after all, a name. As did the boy.

17-A, ten letters, “Broadly speaking.” This answer, who uses it?

52-A, three letters, “Panelist’s cry?” Just ridiculous.

53-D, five letters, “Cruise’s first Oscar-nominated role.” Who knows? I had to look it up, which gave me 52-A.

65-A, ten letters, ”The Last Man on the Moon author.” Really Trivial Pursuit.

I think this post has amounted to a 60-A, ten letters, “Festivus recitation.”

No spoilers; the answers are in the comments.
