This week,
Will Shortz celebrated the 25th anniversary of
Weekend Edition Sunday and (my favorite segment) the
Sunday Puzzle. The NPR weekend program, billed as "the radio version of the Sunday paper," first premiered on Jan. 18, 1987. Shortz, the editor of
The New York Times crossword puzzle, has made an estimated 1,300 program appearances as NPR's resident puzzle master.
