ANSWERS to this month's puzzle should be entered in the grid letter by letter at the coordinates given after each clue. When all the letters have been entered, most of them will form a quotation reading from left to right and top to bottom. The remaining letters interrupt the sequence of the quotation and spell out its source; each of these letters is found in three different clue answers. Letters that are found in two different clue answers begin the words of the quotation. Solvers are advised to shade the squares containing the quotation's source, just to complete the picture. Answers include one proper noun.
