who was the "You're soaking in it" lady? Oh, man. wasn't she the Palmolive commercial waitress played by Ida Morgenstern? Wait, no, she was the Bounty lady.
28A: Heroine of Inge's "Picnic" ( MADGE) - I know only one MADGE.25A: Marine muncher on mangrove leaves ( MANATEE) - I like how the answers carries on the alliteration.with a 60-foot "Praying Hands" sculpture ( ORU) - Figured it was some "U", which was semi-helpful in picking up JUNOESQUE ( 14D: Queenly) Overall, not quite as exquisite as yesterday's grid, but still a very accomplished piece of work. Then inched my way through the middle of the grid, then set about squeezing both the NW and NE. From there, swept through the whole SE right up to SECT ( 35D: One may be Protestant) without so much as blinking.

Guessed " THE TEXAN" ( 39A: Old Rory Calhoun TV western) from "THE T." and the resulting "X" made NIXON ERA ( 34D: When William Safire worked at the White House) supereasy to get. I also knew " DATE MY MOM" ( 30D: Intergenerational MTV reality show), only I thought it was "DATE MY DAD." Dropped it down without a single cross, I think, and then changed DAD to MOM after seeing the easy clue for SEM. Total gimme, though I don't remember that name at all from "Twilight." I just remember seeing the name clued via "Twilight" at least once before, and marveling at the non-Salingerity of it all. First, ESME ( 1D: Woman in all four "Twilight" novels). Helped quite a bit today by two pieces of random pop culture knowledge. Wed-Thur.-level for me, which is strange, considering how brutal Brad Wilber puzzles can be.ĮCHO SOUNDER is too technical to be very interesting to me ( 1A: Aid in deep diving), but the other long stuff up there is great, as are the words in that section's SE counterpart. Every other part of this puzzle, however, I flew through. If I hadn't had a rock solid POLLUTE for SOILURE, and if I hadn't had to run the alphabet to get that "R" in SOILURE, I would've rated this "Easy." But the hold-up there was significant for me, and then I had a tiny bit of trouble in the NE, with PEI for LIN ( 18A: Designer of Alabama's Civil Rights Memorial) and no recollection of GELÉE ( 38A: French frost) and only dim crossword memories of SABU. OK, now that that's over, aside from REGINAL (yuck) ( 11D: Queenly), I thought this puzzle was a blast, and very much on the easy side. Unless you are French (and maybe even then) you sound like a dirty idiot. What's wrong with "soilage"? (which can also mean "green crops for feeding confined animals," which is strange, considering "silage" is also a kind of animal feed.).
My mouth does not want to make that succession of sounds. Truly one of the most off-putting words in the English language. Wow, I really wish I'd gotten SOILURE out of the way early on, because that is one horrible, ugly, anti-climactic way to end your puzzling experience, let me tell you.
