CINÉMA VÉRITÉ
Dan Margolis, of Westfield, N.J., is a semiretired software applications trainer. In his spare time, he referees high school basketball games and plays keyboard in a ‘‘dad-rock band,’’ Landing Party — so named because all the members are ‘‘Star Trek’’ fans. Dan has been solving puzzles since he was a teenager. The first ones he constructed were on graph paper back in the day. This is his fourth crossword for The Times and his first Sunday. — W.S.
