This themeless, "late-week level" puzzle (16x15) was sent to me by a legendary and prolific constructor and was released to coincide with the publication of another puzzle in the New York Times.  After completing the puzzle (spoiler), learn more about the puzzle by clicking here to read Martin's "midrash."

Click here to view or download the puzzle in PDF format; here to download it as a puz file; here to download it as an ipuz file [requires the free Puzzazz app to solve]; here to solve the puzzle interactively (thanks to Jim Horne); here for the solution. Martin thanks David Hanson, Brent Hartzell, and yours truly for beta testing the puzzle.
