(themeless) - Kate Chin Park, edited by Kim Vu for $1 Puzzle Notes Dear Friends: We've got a vibrant 68-worder for you today from our friend Kate Chin Park. It's titled "Why Do We Cry When It's the Onions That Are Getting Hurt?" and Kate says its difficulty is "a little thorny and a little silly, like a porcupine eating a banana." Kate is an associate puzzles and games editor at The New Yorker. Also, we're looking forward to the Midwest Crossword Tournament this weekend in Chicago!
