To complete this puzzle, figure out what word, abbreviation, or short phrase
each clue describes, and fill it into the corresponding squares, one letter per
square. When you can't figure out one clue, look at the clues crossing it to
get some of the letters. No clue's answer will be the same as any other clue's
answer. Beware of trickery; some of the clues (especially those ending in a
question mark) may not be what they seem!
