For your cryptic entertainment
this month, we offer a Slide Show of . . . well, that's for you to find out.
The clues for each row and column yield answers totaling 11 letters.
Entries normally start and end within the unshaded central grid; however, some
answers will fit only if they are slid intact so that the first or last letter
projects into the shaded perimeter. Sliding an entry will leave a gap just
before or after it; so in each row or column containing a "projector," one
letter is supplied only by a crossing entry. When all the answers have been
entered, the "projectors" in the shaded regions, reading clockwise from a
spot to be determined, will show where our travels took us. Eight answers are capitalized. 1.
