This "mid-week level" puzzle (14x14) was released on October 1, 2013, a date of particular significance to the puzzle's honoree (pictured to the right). After completing the puzzle (spoiler), learn more about him by clicking here.  Also, to understand the title of the puzzle, consider the news headlines of the day.
