ANTINOMIES - Didn't have a clue on this one, but it worked out with crosses. Knew the chemical suffix could be either ASE or ANE, and ANTISOMIES didn't make sense to me.<BR/><BR/>14D. SEA SERPENT - Conjured up a nice memory of Beany and Cecil!<BR/><BR/>59A. KRAUSE - Actor Peter of Six Feet Under. Loved that show!<BR/><BR/>66A. NEZ PERCE - Don't know why but I love this tribe name. We have a neighborhood nearby with streets named for Indian tribes, and Nez Perce is one of them. <BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful weekend, all.
