Seriously I wrote the *entire* Gazette except that 1 joke? Was by my son (unpaid copy editor) who kept laughing reading « Common Tern » a bird he’d never heard of. He thought it was so funny. I finally said great. Let’s put it in as a joke. Hearing you liked it will be golden. 😆

Hey! Thanks! Gonna ad to social media but FYI Gazette readers report they got a NYT Sunday x-word clue because they read the Gazette and TERNS was an answer. I'll tag ourtern on the social!

You mean....he laughed because he already was aware of the accidental similarity to the Communist party? He is that politically/historically aware?
