Last Sunday in the NY Times

If you do Acrostic puzzles and you can still get your hands on last Sunday's [4/26], give it a try. It was one of my all-time favorites and you'll see why if you solve it.
PS I'll be back from Prague and back in the park [and on this page] next Wednesday, May 6.

PPS The puzzle to the left is not it. It's just an example of an Acrostic.
