There were three good ones today:

EMBER  "And each separate dying ___ wrought its ghost..."  [Poe's "The Raven"]
SONINLAW   Daughter's ex-beau, maybe
IRS   Irksome org.?   
ATOP  Where the Yanks now sit in the AL East
ROTH   IRA or a Jewish writer
STEP   Pas de deux
YOOHOO   "Yogi Berra's favorite drink" [1960's ad]

IDA   "I would have," quickly
