What I Learned This Weekend By Editing Crossword Puzzles
*There is no country or region called NATAL anymore. Technically, the area is now called KwaZulu-Natal.
*CARESS is not technically clued as "Dove competitor." Today, Caress and Dove are both owned by the Unilever Corporation.
*The EXPOS are now the Nationals, and they're in Washington, not Montreal.
*The capital of Guam is no longer AGANA, though the name "Agana" is still used for the river, the bay, and the nearby area Agana Heights.
*ARCO is no longer a "L.A.-based gas giant," but is a subsidiary of British Petroleum.
*"Time Magazine's Person of the Year 2005" is not BONO per se, but Bono and Bill and Melinda Gates ("The Altruists").
*Most strangely, Steffi GRAF does not, as of this posting, have a page on Wikipedia. (Or rather, she has one that you can see right here, but it contains no main body text, no links, no search window, and is basically fucked up.)
...And now you know as much as I do.

It looks OK to me?

I thought it was pretty comprehensive--maybe I am just missing something. :)
Oh, of course it's been fixed, right after I no longer need it! Well, for what it's worth, it was nothing but the right-hand column for two whole days. And her official website is in German. I just had to settle for a very general clue in the end. Oy!
that sucks. :(
