THEME: famous men with at least one A in their first and last names
GOOD ONES: Title: AMEN [or A men]
Dress with a flare A LINE [not necessarily with an interesting style]
Pitchers' deliveries SPIELS [which are often curve balls]
Surprises in bottles GENII [that's good; I don't want any other kinds of surprises in my bottles]
Seat for toddlers LAP [oldie but goodie]
BTW: General Assembly member UN REP [needs "Abbr." doesn't it?]
Hilo keepsake LEI [mine lasted about three days --- hardly a keepsake --- maybe there are plastic ones]
Remove politely DOFF [or simply remove some clothing, usually a hat]
Month before Nissan ADAR [I must be an ant-Semite but I don't see why Hebrew months are in an English dictionary --- and, have you seen these terms anywhere but in Xwords? --- and if ADAR, why not avril or aprille or…?]
This was a strong puzzle: it had LATS and PECS.
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
