Theme: P Transformation (New word/phrase is formed when you insert letter P in front of letter L) 17A: Cork-based courage?: PLUCK OF THE IRISH (Luck of the Irish) 29A: Jet for honeymooners?: LOVERS' PLANE (Lover's Lane) 46A: Baseball lineup?: PLATE COMERS (Latecomers) 61A: Powerful faction's advocate?: MAJORITY PLEADER (Majority Leader) A couple of things first: 1) ANENT. Johnboy called it a "pure cruciverbonym" at his 11:20am comment yesterday. In fact, this kind of word is referred to as "CROSSWORDESE" (Words that are often used in crosswords and rarely used in our daily conversation).
