    Very pleasant piece of music and a nice way to start off the week — after the depressing spectacle in the House of Representatvies over the weekend.

    Sorry you couldn’t finish the Saturday puzzle, John. I suspect most crossword puzzle workers don’t even try the NYT Saturday puzzle.

    Who is Anitras? The person for whom the suite is named.

    Anitra is an Arabian princess. The music by Grieg is Anitra’s dance from the Peer Gynt Suite.
