In today's New York Times crossword, origami (and possibly the most over-used origami-related pun involving "increasing") features prominently. I'll not post the answer so as not to spoil it for any of you who do the crossword. If you don't care about spoilers, then the full answer is available here:

He had all sorts of issues with today's puzzle, and didn't like the quote-theme, declaring it "dumb." Oh well.) The author of today's puzzle is named Peter Collins - I haven't chased down whether it's the Collins of paper airplane fame. If so, it's definitely extra entertaining. Enjoy! Anne
