- <p> DIED. EUGENE T. MALESKA, 77, crossword-puzzle editor; in Daytona
- Beach, Florida. Maleska spent more than three decades in the
- New York City public school system, retiring in 1973 as a superintendent.
- But during those years, he pursued a second career as a puzzlemaker,
- and in 1977 he became the crossword editor of the New York Times,
- challenging a global following with clues in two dimensions,
- such as the 16-letter phrase meaning "campaigner Clinton, tunefully"
- (answer: ARKANSAS TRAVELER, solved by its subject the weekend
- before his Inauguration).
