And for those into crosswords puzzles, "Wordplay" is set to be released mid-June. It features my hero, Will Shortz, fellow cruciverbalist Merl Reagle, and assorted media stars and politicos:

He's not just active in crossword puzzles, and puzzle editor of the NYTimes, but also President of the National Puzzlers' League, a small but venerable organization with a nationwide membership of people of all ages, genders, and status whose unifying interest is devising and solving puzzles. Mostly but not exclusively word puzzles. Anyone here heard of them? Any members on this Board? I suspect there would be a sizable confluence of interests.

(I think I may have asked this very question a couple of years ago and noted a resounding silence in reply...but now it's a few years later)
