I've been enjoying the cryptic puzzles in Harper's for decades. After you figure out the cleverly-constructed clues, entering the answer often involves another step, as in this case.
I've not embedded the entire puzzle, because blogging ethics standards on TYWKIWDBI are to drive readers to the source, not steal from the source. If any wordsmiths out there would like to tackle this very challenging grid, the full puzzle is available in the August issue of Harper's Magazine, available online or in your local library.
