Letter Rip

My husband flies on American Airlines every week. He knows to bring home the latest issue of American Way for me to read. Otherwise, he’ll be sent back to O’Hare to board another flight!

Jennifer Ganser, Chicago, Illinois

Dear Jennifer: Faced with the choice of having the latest copy of American Way or ­having your husband at home with you, you’d choose us? We like the way you think. And we believe we’re worth it!

MENSA CLUES
Tell me that neither Sherri Burns nor Jim Shahin was responsible for moving the answers to the Mensa quiz right next to the questions. It must be that new intern who is a Sudoku fan. (I notice the answers to those puzzles are not on the same page as the grids.) When I first saw this, I knew it was a mistake that would not reoccur. Then, I opened the November 1 issue and, sure enough, there they were again. I love interns, but they need to be reviewed often.

Yes, I can try to answer the Mensa ­questions without looking. However, the challenge is often too great, and before I know it, my eyes have wandered. Please move the answers to a different page.

Cliff Pappas, Goodyear, Arizona

Dear Cliff: Actually, our placement of puzzle answers is more clinical and deliberate than the mercurial and mischievous machinations­ of an office intern. The placement of the answers is usually fueled by the ads we have in a given issue and where those ads need to fall as a result of their shape and other requirements. But we like your theory! Unfortunately, from time to time, you may still have to resist the temptation to peek — but we’ll do our best to keep it to a minimum.
