CROSSWORD

Tony Orbach is a construction manager and musician in Upper Montclair, N.J. Andrea Carla Michaels is a professional namer (of companies and products) in San Francisco. They worked together on this puzzle by email — bouncing theme ideas, crossword fill and clues back and forth. Tony sneaked in Andrea’s favorite word at 75-Down. (Note her initials.) This is their second collaboration for the Times. — W.S.
