&lt;u&gt;Across&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1. Canine woe : MANGE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mange is a skin disorder in animals caused by parasitic mites that embed themselves in the skin, perhaps living in hair follicles. The same disorder in humans is called scabies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;11. Actress Hayworth : RITA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Rita Hayworth was born in Brooklyn as Margarita Carmen Cansino. Rita's father was a flamenco dancer from Spain and so his daughter fell naturally into dancing. The family moved to Hollywood where Hayworth's father set up a dance studio, and there worked with the likes of James Cagney and Jean Harlow. The young Hayworth had a slow start in movies, finding herself typecast because of her Mediterranean features. When she underwent extensive electrolysis to change her forehead and dyed her hair red, she started to get more work (how sad is that?). In 1941 she posed for that famous pin-up picture which accompanied GIs all over the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;15. Evian Championship org. : LPGA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) was founded in 1950 by a group of 13 lady golfers, and today it is the oldest ongoing women’s sports professional organization in the US. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Evian Championship is an LPGA event held annually in Évian-les-Bains, France, home to Évian mineral water. The Evian Championship is one of two major championships on the Ladies European Tour and just about ties with the US Women’s Open as the richest event in women’s golf. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;22. Some bookmarks, for short : URLS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Internet addresses (like NYTCrossword.com and LAXCrossword.com) are more correctly called Uniform Resource Locators (URLs).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;23. Ana Ivanovic and Novak Djokovic? : TENNIS SERBS (from “tennis serves”)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ana Ivanovic is a Serbian tennis player, and former world number one. As well as playing tennis, she also studied finance at university in her native Belgrade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Novak Djokovic is a Serbian tennis player, currently the world No. 1. Djokovic is quite the character off the court it seems and he is very popular on the talk-show circuit, all around the world. It also helps that Djokovic is fluent in several languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;27. Like steppes : TREELESS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A steppe is a grassland, devoid of trees apart from those growing near rivers and lakes. We would likely call such a geographic feature a prairie in this country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;30. Done, in Verdun : FINI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Verdun-sur-Meuse is a city in northeastern France. The WWI Battle of Verdun took place just north of the city, and lasted for almost the whole of the year 1916. The battle was fought between the French and Germans, with loss of life being about equal between the two factions, the total death toll being about 700,000 men. The Battle of Verdun was primarily an artillery engagement, and some of those overlapping artillery craters are still visible today. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;31. Twiggy's look in '60s fashion : WAIF&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“Twiggy” is the nickname of English model, actress and singer Lesley Lawson. Twiggy was a thin woman (hence the nickname) and was a modelling sensation in the mid-sixties. She had a boyish look with short, blonde hair. Some consider her to be the world’s first “supermodel”. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;33. Sign for tourists visiting the Bolshoi? : BALLET PARKING (from “valet parking”)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bolshoi Ballet company is based in Moscow, Russia. The Bolshoi company has over 200 dancers, making it by far the biggest ballet company in the world. I am very proud to say that I have had the privilege to attend a performance of the Bolshoi in the beautiful Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, Russia about a decade ago …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;43. M.I.T.'s ___ School of Management : SLOAN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
MIT’s School of Management is named for MIT graduate Alfred P. Sloan, former chairman of General Motors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;45. Cry before "Open up!" : FBI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What we know today as the FBI was set up in 1908 as the BOI, the Bureau of Investigation. The name was changed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935. The Bureau was set up at the behest of President Theodore Roosevelt. President Roosevelt was largely moved to do so after the 1901 assassination of President McKinley, as there was a perception that anarchists were threatening law and order .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;51. Tropical paradise for Barbie and Ken? : BALI OFTHE DOLLS (from “Valley of the Dolls”)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bali is the most important tourist destination in Indonesia and is an island lying east of Java. In recent years, Bali's tourist industry has been badly hit in the aftermath of two terrorist bombings. The first one, in 2002, killed 202 people, mainly foreign tourists in a nightclub.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jacqueline Susann’s novel “Valley of the Dolls” was first published in 1996 and was a runaway success. The word “dolls” in the title is slang for barbiturate drugs, so-called “downers” or sleep aids. The book was adapted into a film that was nominated for a number of Oscars. There have been plans announced by NBC for a new TV series based on the book, which will air as a daytime drama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;55. '60s White House name : ABE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abraham Lincoln was born in a one-room log cabin in Hardin County, Kentucky making him the first president born in the West. His formal education was limited to a year and a half of schooling, but fortunately for us, Lincoln was an avid reader and educated himself over the years. Even though he was from a rural area, he avoided hunting and fishing because he did not like to kill animals even for food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;58. The Indians, on scoreboards : CLE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Cleveland baseball franchise started out in 1869 as the Forest Citys named after "Forest City", which is the nickname for Cleveland. After a number of transitions, in 1914 the team took on the name "Indians". The media came up with name "Indians" after being asked for suggestions by the team owners. "Indians" was inspired by the successful Boston team of the day, the Boston Braves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;59. Dickens's Uriah ___ : HEEP&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Uriah Heep is a sniveling insincere character in the novel "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens. The character is such a "yes man" that today, if we know someone who behaves the same way, then we might call that person a "Uriah Heep".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;60. Common potluck dish : LASAGNA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Lasagna was originally the name of a cooking pot, but it came to mean a dish that was cooked in it. Lasagna also became the name of the flat noodle used in the dish. If you order lasagna on the other side of the Atlantic, you'll notice the "lasagne" spelling, the plural of "lasagna". The plural is used as there is more than one layer of pasta in the dish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;65. Let Justin take care of everything? : LEAVE IT TO BIEBER (from “Leave It to Beaver”)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I saw Justin Bieber on television a while back for the first time, and boy do I feel old. This heartthrob from Canada was born in 1994(!), and he is recording hit after hit. Me, I'll stick with the Beatles ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;74. Like Nasser's vision : PAN-ARAB&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gamal Abdel Nasser was the second president of Egypt, from 1956 until he died in 1970. He stood alongside Muhammad Naguib, Egypt's first president, during the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 that overthrew the ruling monarchy of Egypt and Sudan. Nasser was an advocate of Pan-Arabism, an ideology promoting unification of Arab peoples and countries. President Nasser went so far as forming the United Arab Republic (UAR), a union between Egypt and Syria that started in 1958 but fell apart in 1961 when Syria withdrew.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;78. Prefix with phobia : ACRO-&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Our prefix "acro-" comes from the Greek "akros" meaning "at the top". Examples are “acrophobia” (fear of heights) and “Acropolis” (“city at the top”). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;79. Vientiane native : LAO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Vientiane is the capital city of Laos, situated on the famous Mekong River. The city was originally called the "city of sandalwood" by Buddhist monks, naming after the valued trees that grew in the area. The French took the Pali words for "city of sandalwood" and rewrote it as the French-sounding "Vientiane".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A troubadour was a composer and musician of the Middle Ages whose works dealt mainly with chivalry and courtly love. Troubadours were usually men, and a female troubadour would have been called a trobairitz, a lovely word ...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;125. ___ Park : ESTES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Estes Park is a town in a beautiful part of the US, in northern Colorado. Estes Park is home to the headquarters of Rocky Mountain National Park. My fire-fighting brother-in-law was based at that park, so I’ve visited and can attest that it is a gorgeous place to live. He lives in Omaha now. A little different geography ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Down&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1. Drudge of the Drudge Report : MATT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Matt Drudge came to fame along with the website he founded called the “Drudge Report”. The “Drudge Report” is a news aggregation site, mainly made up of links to stories published by the world media.

&lt;b&gt;5. One of the Dionne quints : EMILIE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Dionne quintuplets were sisters born in Ontario in 1934, the first quintuplets known to survive their infancy. There may even have been a sixth fetus at one point as the mother reported having cramps in her third month and passing a strange object. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;8. Paper size: Abbr. : LTR&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Like so many things it seems, our paper sizes here in North America don't conform with the standards in the rest of the world. ISO standard sizes used elsewhere have some logic behind them in that the ratio of width to length is usually one to the square root of two. This mathematical relationship means that when you cut a piece of paper in two each half preserves the aspect ratio of the original, which can be useful in making reduced or enlarged copies of documents. Our standard size of "letter" (8.5 x 11 inches) was determined in 1980 by the Reagan administration to be the official paper size for the US government. Prior to this, the "legal" size (8.5 x 14 inches) had been the standard, since 1921.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;11. Motley : RAGTAG&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
"Ragtag and bobtail" is a colorful phrase that's used to describe the lowest classes, or the rabble. A "bobtail" is a horse that has had its tail cut short, a word that goes back as least as far as Shakespeare as he used it in "King Lear". A "tag" is a piece of cloth that is torn and hanging, which was readily combined with "rag" in the original phrase "tag, rag and bobtail". This idiom, perhaps originally quoted from Samuel Pepys in his diary in 1659, referred to the lower classes as "tag, rag and bobtail, dancing, singing and drinking". The phrase evolved, giving us our contemporary word "ragtag" meaning ragged and unkempt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;12. "Who goes there?" reply : IT IS I&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The much debated statement “It is I” is actually grammatically correct, and should not be “corrected” to “It is me”. Traditionally, pronouns following linking verbs, such as “is”, “appear” and “seem”, are written in the nominative case. Examples are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;- It is I (who called).&lt;br /&gt;
- It was he (who did it).&lt;br /&gt;
- It is we (who care).&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;17. Binding elementary particle : GLUON&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A gluon is a hypothetical, subatomic particle postulated as being necessary to bind (or "glue") together quarks, hence the name “gluon”.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;29. Plant bristle : AWN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;36. Goya's "The Duchess of ___" : ALBA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
María Cayetana de Silva was the 13th duchess of Alba. She was a favorite subject of the Spanish painter Francisco Goya. The duchess is the subject in the famous portrait known as “The Naked Maja”. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;50. Soap actress Sofer : RENA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Rena Sofer came to prominence as an actor in daytime television, most notably playing Lois Cerullo on "General Hospital". Sofa's love interest on the show was played by Wally Kurth, and the online romance led to the pair walking down the aisle in real life in 1995 (although they divorced two years later).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

If you ever take a cruise ship to Jamaica, you will likely disembark in Ocho Rios, a major port of call for the cruise lines. “Ocho rios” is Spanish for "eight rivers".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;54. "BUtterfield 8" novelist : O'HARA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“BUtterfield 8” (note the capitalization of both the “B” and the “U”) is a film released in 1960 starring Elizabeth Taylor and Laurence Harvey. The title of the movie, and of the John O’Hara novel on which the film is based, is actually a telephone number. Up to the mid-sixties, telephone exchanges were given names rather than numbers. BUtterfield 8 was an exchange in the wealthy Upper East Side of Manhattan, and dialling of BU-8 was equivalent to 28-8, the first three digits of a 7-digit phone number. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;63. José, to friends : PEPE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“José” is the Spanish for “Joseph”. Friends might also refer to José as “Pepe”. Both José and Pepe derive from Saint Joseph, the father of Jesus. Saint Joseph is sometimes referred to as “padre putativo” meaning “presumed father". The acronym “PP” standing for “padre putativo” led to the name “Pepe”.&lt;br /&gt;

The Italian expression "al dente" literally means "to the tooth" or "to the bite" and is used to describe not only pasta, but also vegetables that are cooked so that they are tender yet still crisp.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;72. Longtime Yankee nickname : A-ROD&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Poor old Alex Rodriguez earned more nicknames than just A-Rod. He has been called "the Cooler" by some players as there is a perception that teams go cold when he joins them and hot when he leaves. He has also been called "A-Fraud" by teammates because of another perception, that he is over-demanding. &lt;br /&gt;

Ermine is another name for the stoat. The stoat has dark brown fur in the summer, and white fur in the winter. Sometimes the term "ermine" is reserved for the animal during the winter when the fur is white.
