As I’ve said before, like all the best crossword constructors these days, I see my task as primarily one of social reform and human betterment. And so, more than two years ago, in April 2020, I turned my attention to international affairs, with the purpose of promoting world peace (see Crossword 180). But then I let the better part of a year go by without any further world-peace-promotion efforts, and in February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. I ask myself now—why didn’t I do more? Am I not partly to blame? So today I’m doubling down with a two-part crossword (replacing the multi-part series of years past) promoting the cause of international communication. I just hope I’m not too late!
