Litzmas 2007 ("It's Silver" Silvestri)

Richard Silvestri has been a regular puzzle contributor to the New York Times for more than the 25 years required for the silver anniversary. In a 1981 Chicago Tribune article Silvestri is quoted, "I've only had one fan letter. There was a time I could quote it from memory." Well, here's a big fan appreciation with many of his earlier Sunday puzzles for you to enjoy in a zip file.

• Polyglot (July 27, 1980)
• Activists (Jan 17, 1982)
• Altered States (September 9, 1984)
