My first job in publishing was at the small company that, at that time, was publishing Games Magazine (though I worked on two other utterly nongeeky publications), and I spent endlessly fun lunch hours indulging my dorkiness doing the crossword puzzles in the back issues I grabbed from the archive.
Will Shortz was the editor of Games then, though today he’s the crossword editor at The New York Times... and now, by the popular acclaim of Gawker.com readers, he’s been named the man at the Times we gals love most for his brain. (I always thought Will was cute in the face, too, not just in the head -- click through to Gawker for a pic.)
