»In which I cheat, and enjoy it

Rex Parker, who Does the NYT Crossword Puzzle, is not only a welcome helpmeet, but his commentary both illuminates and amuses. He adds clip art, relevant movie posters, and welcome exegesis for the daily puzzle. I first found him when, stuck in a particularly nasty puzzle (must have been Thursday, the utter limit of my ability), I needed to cheat; now I enjoy reading his analysis after all the cheating is done and accounted-for.

I don't now how the one-nine-hundred toll line ("$1.49 a minute") survives.
