Time to solve the NPR weekend word puzzle
created by Will Shortz. Every answer today is the name of a famous person whose
first initial and last name, in order, spell a word. For example, take Benjamin
Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence. The B of Benjamin + his last
name spells BRUSH. I'll give you clues to the parts. You give me the names.
