STAR CONTRIBUTOR, IKE MILLER...    DELL 
IS THE #1 PUBLISHER OF.CROSSWORD PUZZLES
 IN THE WORLD AND WE.ARE PROUD OF IKE FO
R THIS.ACCOMPLISHMENT...    OF COURSE, I
 MAY HAVE THE.SEQUENCE BACKWARDS.  MAYBE
 IKE WAS.SELLING CROSSWORDS TO DELL BEFO
RE,.AND HE USED THEM AS A SPRINGBOARD TO
.US?  IN ANY CASE, IKE IS AN EXCELLENT.C
RUCIVERBALIST AND I'M GLAD HE SENDS.US H

INCLUDED.THREE CROSSWORDS IN THE PUZZLE 
PAGE..NUMBERPHILES NEED NOT FEEL SLIGHTE
D,.THOUGH, SINCE THERE'S ALSO A NEW.COLL
ECTION OF CROSS CALC PUZZLES, AND.A LOGI

CHER EXTRAORDINAIRE......    INSPECTOR L
A VIE MAKES A.TRIUMPHANT RETURN IN ANOTH

-LOCKED.ROOM.  I'M SURPRISED LA VIE AND 
HIS.ASSISTANT, CICERO, HAVEN'T BEEN THE.
SUBJECT OF A REALITY-BASED DOCUDRAMA.IN 
PRIME TIME.  OR AT LEAST A DAYTIME.SOAP.
  GERALDO?..    HOPSCOTCH FILLS OUT THE 
PUZZLE.PAGE BILL.  IT'S A POPULAR REPEAT
.FROM A PREVIOUS PUZZLE PAGE, WITH SIX.A
LL-NEW PUZZLES...    THE MUSIC THIS MONT
H IS A RAGTIME.TUNE BY MAY AUFDERHEIDE, 
"A TOTALLY.DIFFERENT RAG".  I BET YOU TH

..    MAY WROTE THE SONG BACK IN 1910..T
HE SONG WAS TRANSCRIBED BY DAVE.MARQUIS,
 AND WAS TAKEN FROM HIS.COLLECTION, RAGT
IME LADIES.  I'M.HOPING THAT DAVE COMES 
UP WITH.RAGTIME LADIES II SOON.  THERE'S
.SOMETHING ABOUT THAT STYLE THAT'S.PERFE
CTLY SUITED FOR THE THREE-VOICE.SID CHIP
