I just wish the crossword creators would do more puzzles that rely on synonyms, antonyms, and clever sayings - also, answers that rely on common knowledge from education rather than pop culture. I hate having to try to find the names of authors, actors, obscure poets, etc. My enjoyment comes from seeing how much of the puzzle I can get without googling anything. The Saturday puzzles come closest to being the ones I like.
As to your comment on clue 94D...I can say we never wore those outfits in gym in the 50's! I can't imagine what year they wore those...never heard of gymslips. We wore gym shorts and coordinating shirts! LOL

I like Saturday's open grid structure, but I am very intimidated by the themeless style.
