Crosswords have been a lazy hobby of mine from time to time.

But they do inspire questions in me.

Do you think that when Elie Wiesel was living through hell-on-earth in Auschwitz, and when Anwar Sadat courageously stood up for peace in the Middle East all those years ago, that either of them thought they'd end up having their names used essentially as dependable standby fillers for crossword puzzles?

Well, we'll all have to wait for Hitchens to start complaining about crosswords...
