Panel Clues: 1 across: what does he mean your lawyer, your government, your father your preacher? 2 across: “I’ve been intercepting your letters, your coded messages and telephone calls and your expectations of love. I’ve been intercepting your desires and intentions and your view of the past. And especially I’ve been intercepting these confessions you’re been making.” 3 across: “It all started for me when I was just a loutish brat. At school with no cultural handel bars. It came to me while I was behind the bicycle sheds spying on Jim and Jenny. It was knowledge I was after then, but perhaps it became an end in itself. 4 conception: Gender this habit: sex that difference. 5 across: If you were dirty through shame where would the fiction of this hiding begin? 6 across: Yes Paul, I agree! It is the traditional task of ‘the profit’ to deny the freedom of the flesh and imagination. 7 across: All’s Well? AP
