PUZZLE CORNER

摘要

Here is another standard cryptic. As usual, each clue for an entry contains two elements: a reasonably straightforward definition and a cryptic indication. The latter will be in forms such as anagrams, hidden words (parts of two or more words), puns, double meanings, homophones, and other arcane devices. It isn't always obvious which part of the clue is the definition and which is the cryptic indication. Punctuation and capitalization are often meant to mislead.
