Listener 4141 : Trailblazers by Dysart

Listener Crossword 4132 Ups and Downs by Llig

Well, I seem to be almost at the end of this and have yet to decipher the precise quotation although I think I have the gist. Fastest grid fill for some time, so all the more reason to be careful.

Listener 4131 - Carte Blanche en Tore by Ten-Four

Listener 4127

Has no one started a thread? Is it because people are a little bit disappointed with this one? Perhaps there is some clever twist that I haven't seen.

Listener 4126 Arthurian Legend by Corvettes

Wow. Absolutely brilliant. I tried to rotate the rings mentally, but got out the scissors after a few minutes. Then half my letters were upside down, so I printed out a new grid and re-filled it. An...
