ACROSS and Down clues are given in no special order, but their answers do belong in symmetrically matching spots in the grid. Since the diagram contains no bars to show where entries begin and end, we offer six Guidelines (shaded rows and columns) to help you find your way. Each Guideline contains a pair of entries totaling 13 letters; these two entries are clued consecutively in each case, but the six Guidelines are listed randomly. An additional guide is given by the nine circled letters occurring at the Guidelines' intersections, reading from left to right and top to bottom. Clue answers include eight capitalized words. See the solution to last month's Puzzler. Guidelines a. Debut of "Guidelines," with sharp new diagrams (6); Stuff amplifier into electrical connector (3-4) b.
