I only got 14d by a combination of pattern recognition and the hint your title provided; otherwise I'm not sure I could have given up on brief=short.Carolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971759975067250908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-25074990894254635542016-10-01T15:45:09.081-04:002016-10-01T15:45:09.081-04:00Hi everyone and Mr Falcon!

Laughed out loud when I parsed 1a and 24a.<br />By the way, parsing is slightly incorrect in your solution to 14d. <br /><br />Thank you for posting and have a great weekend!<br /><br />MGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-11652414034440951552016-10-01T11:04:44.846-04:002016-10-01T11:04:44.846-04:00Nice puzzle again this week.
