On Feb. 17, 2022, just days before Vladimir Putin’s

full-scale invasion of Ukraine, WNBA star Brittney
Griner arrived in Moscow to join the Russian team
she’d been playing for during U.S. offseasons.
Instead of joining her team, though, Griner was
caught with small amounts of cannabis oil and
imprisoned for more than nine months. This article
— adapted from her memoir, “Coming Home” — is
the story of how her ordeal began.

he Moscow air felt different. I’d traveled to

T Russia dozens of times in eight years to

play for UMMC Ekaterinburg and never
had this eerie feeling. I went through
passport control, got my stamp and took an
escalator down to security for my transfer to the
domestic terminal. Two large glass doors slid open.
The scene on the other side proved something was
off.
The place was crawling with workers. It was
usually empty, maybe a couple of screeners, and then
you’d sail through to your connecting flight. This
checkpoint was fully staffed: five, six workers near
the metal detectors, another bunch huddled by the
trays, a screener guy seated behind the X-ray ma-
chine. Everyone was in uniform, and a few had on
blue-camo fatigues.
What the hell is going on? A blond, skinny police
lady walked alongside the passengers, her dog sniff-
ing every bag. The canine smelled the luggage of the
person in front of me. All clear. Same thing when the
dog sniffed my bags. No reaction. They immediately
moved on to the next passenger, but the policewom-
an tapped me on the shoulder. She said something in
Russian, God knows what, and motioned for me to
step aside.
I wasn’t the only one pulled from the line. Most of

My phone lit up at 2:30 p.m. Relle. Thank God.
“Who are these people, why do they have you, and
what exactly are they saying?” I gave her the full
picture in my shaky voice, and she was firm from the
beginning: I had nothing to hide. “Babe, you aren’t
some drug smuggler,” she said. “You had two pens in
your bag, both of them medically licensed with
cannabis legally purchased. Don’t freak out. You’ve
done nothing wrong.”
That relaxed me a little. Relle, who was finishing
up law school, worked at a firm specializing in
criminal defense. She and her colleagues handled
drug and homicide cases all the time. That was why
she thought we should shut our mouths and let the
truth do the talking. She promised to call my agent:
“Don’t you say a word to anyone, don’t you write
anything down,” Relle warned.
The customs agents returned with both cartridges
around 4 p.m. Guess they never took them to
forensics. Guess I’m still screwed. Anton was holding
what looked like an evidence bag, as well as some
kind of document in Russian. “You sign here,” he said,
pointing at a line near the bottom.
I studied the paper. “What is this?” I asked. “Sign,”
he repeated, shoving the paper toward me. I pushed
it away. “I’m not signing anything,” I said. “Nyet, nyet,
nyet.” I hadn’t learned much Russian in my time
there, but I knew how to say no. Neither of them
responded. They stood there gazing at me, as though
they had no idea what I was saying. I looked up
“lawyer” on Google Translate. “Advocat,” I said.
Anton pushed the document toward me again and
repeated, “Sign here!” I said “I don’t know” in every
way I could think of, in Russian, with gestures, with a
hunch of my shoulders. They had to know what the
hell I meant because a shrug is universal.
This back and forth continued until they brought
over a lady from a nearby duty-free shop. They spoke
to her in Russian before she turned to me and said,
“They want you to sign.” Are they kidding me? This
woman is a cashier, not a translator! “I don’t know

translated, said the vape pens contained cannabis oil.

No surprise. The real blow came when I heard my
charge, Article 229.1, Part 2, in the Russian criminal
code. I’d been accused of smuggling a significant
amount of narcotics into the country. Significant
amount? They’d found 0.2 grams in one cartridge,
0.5 in the other — a total of 0.7 grams, so little oil that
it’d be gone as soon as the pens were warmed up. In
America, that’s not enough weed to raise a brow even
in the handful of states yet to legalize it. But in Russia
it’s considered a “significant amount,” punishable by
five to 10 years and a fine of up to 1 million rubles —
about $10,000.
Around 3 a.m., they let Alex come upstairs. When I
hear the words “Russian lawyer,” someone old, dry
and stoic comes to mind. Alex was the opposite:
young, cool, shoulder-length hair, a Russian hippie
with a photo of Gregg Allman as his WhatsApp
profile pic. He greeted me warmly, and we stepped
into the hall to speak.
I had a thousand questions and even more fears,
but my heart raced so fast I could hardly get them out.
“Yo, so what’s, like, the worst-case scenario?” I asked.
He cleared his throat. “Well, right now it’s just one
charge,” he said. “We have to let the investigation
finish.” Forget that. “But for real, how many years
could I get?” I asked. He drew in a breath. “I mean, it
could be a year or two,” he said. He paused. “Or it
could be the whole 10.”
Alex didn’t seem surprised I’d been asked to sign a
document before seeing a lawyer. Still, he seemed
hopeful that I wouldn’t get anywhere close to the
maximum sentencing because I had no criminal
record. I’d later learn that in 2021, the year before I
was detained, 36 people were sentenced with the
same charge in the Russian criminal code. In 10 of
those cases, the defendants received less than three
years in prison; in five, up to five years; and in two
cases, five to eight years. The remaining — more than
half — had their sentences suspended. By those
numbers, the odds seemed in my favor. But in that
moment, I felt doomed. Back inside, interrogation

and then he and Anton got in up front.
We looped around to a fenced area next to the
airport. As we approached, the gates rolled open to
reveal a redbrick building that looked like a mini-
prison. Could be customs headquarters. An armed
guard stood out front. He and Anton spoke briefly
before the guard waved us in. We walked upstairs to
an office, where the agents sat behind a desk across
from me. Another guy came in, blue-camo uniform,
didn’t speak, just sat by the door. Maybe a guard.
Meanwhile, Anton started talking my ear off. Some-
time between our duty-free showdown and now, his
English had magically improved. “So, what do you
think of LeBron?” he said with a grin. “Is he as good as
Michael Jordan?” “No idea,” I muttered. He kept
talking, not caring that I’d clearly caught on to his
tactic. “How do you feel about Trump?” he asked. I
flipped the script. “How do you feel about Trump?” I
asked. He and the others laughed. “I think Trump’s
great,” he said. This continued, with Anton asking me
about sports, politics, even my WNBA salary, which
he’d pulled up on the internet. I said little, mostly
stared at my phone. Every few minutes, he’d throw in
a question like “Do your teammates smoke weed
too?” I shrugged. “I don’t know what they do,” I said.
“Weren’t you bringing drugs to somebody?” he asked.
I repeated the truth: “I didn’t know I had the pens.”
“So, you don’t know any drug dealers here?” he
pressed. “Advocat,” I said. Since this had become an
interrogation, I needed a lawyer, anyone, at my side. I
prayed I’d hear from home.
Heaven must’ve heard me because my screen lit
up. It was Lindsay, my agent in the United States,
reaching out on WhatsApp. Like Relle, she got
straight to the point. “Where exactly are you?” she
asked. “I need you to drop a pin.” As I did, she pulled
up Google Maps and spotted the redbrick building.
Even before Lindz reached me, she’d started rallying
the troops. Alex Boykov, a Moscow attorney, was
standing by to help me. She gave me his number and
sent him my pin.
Alex called me when he arrived. The guard

Trump might not go to jail, but this trial is a close second

NEW YORK
y friend and former colleague Benjamin

M Wittes, editor in chief of Lawfare, has

provided indispensable legal analysis
during Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
But his most important insight into the trial is the
need for cushioning.
When I arrived at the Manhattan Criminal
Courthouse early Monday morning for a few days of
Trump trial tourism, I found Wittes in line holding
not one but two pillows: an orthopedic doughnut to
sit on and a padded, wraparound lap desk. If I didn’t
do the same, he warned, “you’ll come away with
injuries.”
He was vindicated within an hour of my arrival in
the courthouse.
The courthouse, completed in 1941, apparently
has not been updated much since then, nor even
maintained. Its seats are hard, wooden pews with
curved backs that accentuate the customary jour-
nalist slouch as we hunch over our laptops.
Posters warning of asbestos abatement hang in
the lobby. The bathrooms have malfunctioning taps,
missing toilet paper holders and what looks like
years of grime on the floor. The courtrooms have
almost no electrical power or internet connectivity,
forcing those covering the Trump trial to lug
backpacks full of enormous batteries, cables and
hotspots. Temperatures fluctuate madly (a source of
much irritation to the defendant). The hallways are
dark and green, and the fluorescent-lit courtrooms
have names such as “Part 59” and “Part 75.” The
elevators groan and creak; on the 15th floor, where
the Trump trial is held, two of us had to manually
push an elevator’s doors closed to get the carriage
moving down to the lobby.
Mar-a-Lago it isn’t. This place, built on the site of
a 19th-century prison and gallows complex called
“the Tombs,” might be as close as Trump gets to

A history of two spouses and two presidents

nothing we’re feeling can rival
the convulsions of the years
between 1961 and 1969.
For a brief moment when
everything seemed possible but only some of
it was, Americans of all colors fought and
bled and died to redeem the promise of
emancipation that remained massively unful-
filled 100 years after the official end of the
Civil War. No one was more important to
those battles, or to America’s imagination,
than the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., John F.
Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and Lyndon John-
son. Each of them inspired the greatest
possible hope, and then the worst imaginable
despair.
The Kennedys and King were assassinated.
The end of Johnson’s public life was closer to
suicide. Using what historian Doris Kearns

will, conviction, and energy” to produce “an
unnerving force field of persuasive power,”
famously known as “the treatment,” Johnson
relentlessly hammered members of Congress
to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting
Rights Act of 1965, immigration reform,
Medicare, Medicaid and the first federally
funded aid program for higher education.
Then he laid waste to the rest of his
presidency by deepening America’s efforts in
the Vietnam War.
There are hundreds of books about the
politics of this period, including several by
writers blessed with (and tilted by) special
access to their subjects: Theodore H. White’s
“The Making of the President 1960,” Theo-

picted 52 years ago in David Halberstam’s

makes this telling so enthralling is that
Trueheart is the author’s father and Nolting
his godfather. The question of what caused
the two men to fall out — was it a policy
breach, a personal betrayal or both? —
drives the son’s quest and the fast-paced
narrative. For the rest of their lives, Nolting
and the elder Trueheart exchanged nary a
word. (Nolting died in 1989, Trueheart in
1992.) In Trueheart’s family, the rupture
would become taboo — roped off by his
father as “the business with Fritz.” To
Nolting, it remained an unforgivable sin.
And to the son and godson, on the cusp of
adulthood, the break engendered a “life-
time of stewing about the whole thing.”
Trueheart the son, a former Paris bureau
chief for The Washington Post and longtime
director of the American Library in Paris,
has written a “work of memory hiding inside
a work of history” — a tricky endeavor. To be
sure, moments of awkward ice-dancing

I
n her new graphic memoir, “How to Baby: A No-
Advice-Given Guide to Motherhood,” New York-
er cartoonist Liana Finck aims to demystify the
euphoric, exhausting, confounding, breathtaking
reality of parenting a baby during that first never-
ending year. Filled with wry obser-
vations and poignant interludes, the
book covers matters such as the
shellshocked bewilderment of first-
time parenthood and the “babyness”
of a child that “flickers in and out of
focus” as they age. “Having a baby is
a trade. You give away brain space.
Money. Time. Privacy,” Finck writes. But in return?
“You get love . . . love that will make the sacrifices
not like sacrifices at all. Money, time, and brain
space are fleeting anyway.” In honor of Mother’s
Day, we’re excerpting a section about the unexpect-
ed consequences of a baby’s first milestones.

BY A LLISON S TEWART

O
ne night before either of them got
famous, Kathleen Hanna and her
friend Kurt Cobain got drunk and
trashed the bedroom of his Olympia,
Wash., apartment. At one point, Han-
na took a marker and wrote “Kurt is the keeper of
the kennel … Kurt smells like Teen Spirit” on the
wall. She’s not sure what she meant, exactly, she
admits in her new memoir, “rebel Girl: my Life
as a feminist Punk.” She’d seen Teen Spirit de-
odorant in a store earlier and thought it sounded
funny. When Cobain later called and asked if he
could appropriate the phrase for his band, Nirva-
na, she absent-mindedly said yes.
for Hanna, the success of “Smells Like Teen
Spirit” changed everything, and nothing. It
made Nirvana the biggest band in the world,
but Hanna, frontwoman of the underground
punk band Bikini Kill and reluctant leader of
the riot Grrrl movement that birthed it, re-
mained largely as she was.
Life in Bikini Kill was a constant physical,
emotional and financial struggle. Hanna took a
second job as a stripper named Sage at a
gentleman’s club near Embassy row in D.C. to
get her tour van out of hock. She lived in
constant fear of discovery: Stripping wasn’t

played “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on the jukebox
for her to dance to. It was meant to humiliate
her, and it did. “I’m sure it was hilarious,” she
writes. “I was taking my clothes off to a song I’d
written the title to. Kurt was on his way to being
a multimillionaire while I was jiggling my a-- in
a broke-down strip club. Hahaha.”
“rebel Girl” is an unblinking, purple bruise
of a memoir charting Hanna’s tumultuous
childhood, her younger years astride the un-
governable force that was riot Grrrl and her
fraught adulthood beyond.
It’s stoic and empathetic in equal measure,
particularly in its accounting of Hanna’s girl-
hood. She grew up in “a home full of creepy
tension punctuated by random crises,” with an
abusive, alcoholic father who acted so inappro-
priately with her that Hanna later realized his

2023. officials billed it as an inno-
vative effort to ease Paris’s hous-

had more specific motives: to
clear Paris of its tent villages, free
up thousands of hotel rooms be-
fore the Games and identify peo-
ple who aren’t eligible to legally
remain in the country.

policy decided because of the

great apes
Since 1968’s ‘Planet of the Apes,’ how a bunch of overwrought B-movies evolved into the ultimate franchise reboot

BY J essICA K IANG

In June of 2022, somewhere in the peat swamp forests of Indonesia’s Gunung Leuser National Park, a male
Sumatran orangutan with an angry-looking facial injury chewed up some leaves from a plant known to
have healing properties, then carefully applied the resultant wadded mush to the affected area. Within
weeks, the wound closed up, leaving only minor scarring. Rakus, as the researchers dubbed the ape (it
seems, in this case, a tad presumptuous to claim that is definitively his name; he may go by something else
among his friends), was immortalized in a May 2, 2024, paper as the first observed example of a wild
animal effectively self-administering a medicine he had made from local flora. It is a small but noteworthy
milestone in the ongoing search for recognizably humanlike intelligence outside of Homo sapiens, an
astonished scientific community concluded. See Apes on e7

‘Living Colors’
brings together
several decades
of abstract art
BY M ARK J ENKINS

Pure color appears to pool, flow, pulse or

simply mark the boundaries of a void in the
latest retrospective of American abstraction at
Pazo Fine Art’s Kensington location. “Living
Colors” offers a single item by each of 10 artists,
half of whom spent at least part of their careers
in Washington. Seven of the pictures were
made before 1976, but the selection ranges from
a print of nested yellow squares by Josef Albers,
patriarch of color-field art, to a brand-new
minimalist canvas by Matthew Feyld.
The first artwork visitors encounter is the
darkest and boldest, and among the largest.
Howard Mehring’s 1964 “Magenta Double” is
one of the D.C. artist’s collage-paintings,
assembled from strips cut from canvases
painted with heathered allover patterns. Two
magenta columns, confined by thick black bars,
float on a dark green field, the hard-edge
geometric forms softened by the stippled color.
The picture is essentially flat, yet beckons the
eye into seeming depths.
Equally symmetrical and even bigger is
Thomas Downing’s 1972 “Split Possession,”
which arrays dots in seven colors (including
vivian Marie Doering
white) on a bare-canvas expanse. The precision
is gently offset by the edges of the dots, which An installation view of the 10-artist retrospective “Living Colors” that delves into the transformative period embraced by 20th century abstractionists.
bleed ever so slightly into the fabric.
Among the other highlights are paintings by
Helene Herzbrun and Vivian Springford in
which free-form blue areas are exquisitely
aqueous, and Terry Parmelee’s “August,” whose
overlapping orange circles oscillate on a yellow
backdrop. The titles of this work and Dorothy
Fratt’s “Bird on a Wire” hint that the pictures
are portrayals of the natural world, however
highly stylized. Most of the show’s artworks,
however, distill the universe to nothing but
color, shape and texture.

less process of self-criticism and editing. in

each of the four broad periods of her career,
she produced a major cycle of prints, and in
the first of those, “a Weavers’ revolt” begun in
1893, she works and reworks the hands of a
grieving woman in the last plate. in one
version, a gaunt female figure stands by a door
as the bodies of slain workers are carried in,
her hands folded in front of her. in the final
version of the same plate, she holds her hands
to her sides, straight armed, with the fingers
clenched tightly into fists.
even more dramatic and moving is the
effort she exerted to refine a devastating 1903
print called “Woman With Dead Child.” That
image evolved from another, related one,
titled “pietà,” which shows a muscular adult
figure of uncertain gender holding the limp
torso of an equally androgynous child, with
closed eyes and an ashen face. The pietà image
feels a bit like a film still, well composed but
carefully framed, seen straight on and slightly
removed from the viewer. “Woman With Dead
Child,” by contrast, feels monumental, an
incursion of visceral pain into the space of the
viewer. The woman is equally muscular, and
the child just as tragically lifeless. But the
embrace is far more powerful and desperate.
The woman’s hair, increasingly lost into shad-
ow, is stringy and thin, while less of her face is
visible. Her individuality is now entirely sub-
sumed into grief. she cries into the body of the
child, as if to muffle her own sobs with the
flesh of the being she has irretrievably lost.
a cogent catalogue essay by figura makes
an essential point: There was something
radical about rendering women’s grief as raw
and inconsolable. Women, in germany at the
beginning of the last century, were expected to
be more stoical, more measured and re-
strained in the expression of emotion. Koll-
witz wasn’t just depicting something that
didn’t belong in polite society — untrammeled
sorrow — she was offering that same image as
a symbol, or political icon. Women’s pain was
active and desperate, embodying the agony
felt across a society riven by deep inequities
and injustice.

charge of peasants against oppressive power.

Her hands look a bit like those of a
conductor, calling forth apocalyptic sounds
from an orchestra. Kollwitz worked on this
image in 1902 and 1903, around the same time
that Gustav Mahler began working on his
Symphony No. 6, which includes giant ham-
mer blows in its last movement. That is a
coincidence, but the two works share a super-
fluity of expressive power, an expressionism
that isn’t officially Expressionism, but still
devastating in effect.
The revolutionary sentiments of “A Weav-
ers’ Revolt” and “Peasants War” gave way to
pacifism after World War I. In another cycle,
“War,” she depicted women as mothers, not
just grieving the losses of war, but bound
together in self-defense. “The Mothers,” yet The Käthe Kollwitz

and fabric, wide-eyed to see the mess men of modern Art
have made of the world.
Kollwitz worked primarily in monochrome,
in prints, lithographs, etchings. She embraced
the reach of these media and created some of
her most distilled and evocative images in
service to her political beliefs — against war,
especially. A 1923 poster, “Down With the
Abortion Paragraphs!,” shows a despairing

One can’t experience the work of Kollwitz
without thinking of other rights. Throughout
her career, she asserted through her work the
right to speak directly, clearly and unambigu-
ously. American artists, especially African
Americans, would embrace that in their art,
sometimes echoing Kollwitz’s works directly,
more often embracing her fusion of iconogra-
phy and political expression. Kollwitz’s work
circulated in this country in the 1920s and
’30s, in left-wing journals and occasional
exhibitions. Charles White and Elizabeth
Catlett, both African American creators,
championed Kollwitz in their own work and
in teaching younger generations. Eventually,

Celebrating four movie moms who keep it real

BY O LIVIA M C C ORMACK

P
icture the perfect movie mom.
Would that demure, beautiful (but not sexual) and protective (but not
aggressive) angel of a woman ever dump cold water on you at 6 a.m. because you
stayed up too late being a teenage miscreant and now refuse to get up for school?
No. Moms have things to do. They can’t wait around for your adolescent sleep
schedule to catch up. Because, despite what you frequently see on screen, children are not the
only plot in a mother’s life. They were people before they had children and are still people
when they have a toddler clinging to their legs.
Even if the screen mom isn’t the angel-voiced, infallible, governess-turned-stepparent
Maria von Trapp from “The Sound of Music,” there is a desire to categorize women as great
matriarchs (think Mother Robinson from “Swiss Family Robinson,” Mrs. Incredible from
“The Incredibles” or Marmee March from any of the “Little Women” adaptations) or
antagonists (Mother Gothel from “Rapunzel” or Margaret White from “Carrie”). And while
that spectrum does exist, minus the magical elements, most moms don’t hit either extreme.
Because the complicated woman who argues with you over fake Facebook news and tells you
to lose weight is the same person who wiped your backside until you could do it yourself, and
still worries if you’re safe at night.
To celebrate the moms who burn holes through the bottom of pots when they boil water,
here are four movie mothers who act like real moms.

A growing
legal battle
over o∞ce
mandates
Employees sue, file complaints
over policies they say can be
retaliatory, discriminatory

BY D ANIELLE A BRIL
AND T AYLOR T ELFORD

After more than two years of protest-

ing and fighting return-to-office man-
dates, workers are fed up with their
bosses’ inflexible policies and are taking
their battle to court.
Zacchery Belval, a designer from Con-
necticut who has congenital heart dis-
ease and severe anxiety, was fired after he
refused to return to the office. Despite
submitting several doctor’s notices about
his medical need to work from home, his
employer denied his request, citing in-
person job duties. Now, he’s suing the
company in U.s. District Court in Con-
necticut.
“They just said either you come back …
or you’re fired,” Belval said. “It was literal-
ly screaming matches with management
every day, saying, ‘Hey, this is about
health,’ and management going, ‘We
don’t care.’”
As companies across the United states
increasingly take a hard-line stance on
back-to-office mandates, an increasing
number of workers are elevating their
complaints to court and federal labor
agencies, including the National Labor
Relations Board and the Equal Employ-
ment opportunity Commission. Workers
argue that the mandates can be unjust,
discriminate against people with disabil-
ities and are retaliatory actions against
unionization efforts. Employers that
have backtracked from flexible work pol-
icies argue that being in the office is
necessary, as it improves company cul-
ture, collaboration and productivity. The
outcomes of these cases could be critical
and force employers to reevaluate their
policies, some lawyers say.
“They can have a significant impact if
there’s an agency or court ruling,” said
Andrew Melzer, partner at civil rights law
firm sanford Heisler sharp. It could de-
termine “what’s considered permissible.”
Despite the corporate push, the per-
centage of workers who have returned to
the office in the United states hasn’t
risen. In March, nearly 23 percent of
workers did their jobs remotely, at least
part time, compared with 19.5 percent a
year prior, according to the U.s. Bureau of
Labor statistics.

said Dan Kaplan, a senior client
partner with Korn ferry’s chief

The landscape remains in flux,
Kaplan said, in part because some
companies have struggled to con-
figure office policies that account
for the burden on parents, care-
givers, the immunocompromised
and others who may be taxed by
mandates.
Since the mandates began, em-
ployees have raised a fuss through
public outcry, petitions calling for
policy changes and other internal
pushback. Now, “litigation seems
to be their last resort,” Kaplan
said.

workers pay into the system,
money will always come in.
Last year, an estimated
183 million people had earnings
subject to Social Security payroll
taxes, according to the trustees’
report.
Those taxes are collected
under the federal Insurance
Contributions Act (fICA).
Employers and employees each
pay 6.2 percent of wages up to the
taxable maximum of $168,600 for
2024. If you’re self-employed, you
pay the entire 12.4 percent tax
rate.

Goss said: Suppose you have a

cash is coming in, but it might
not be enough to pay all your
monthly obligations.
The old-Age and Survivors
Insurance (oASI) program,
which pays retirement and
survivor benefits, will be able to
pay 100 percent of benefits until
2033.
Even if Congress fails to act,
there will be enough projected
income coming in to cover
79 percent of scheduled benefits.

SAMURAI SUDOKU (c) www.djape.net

How to Play

The rules of Samurai Sudoku are the same as in the popular

Sudoku puzzles that appear in the daily comics section.
As with standard Sudoku, the Samurai version requires no math,
just logic, reasoning ... and an iron will. The goal is to fill in each
column, row and 3X3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without
repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that
appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles.
A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus completely on
one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because
filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another. What’s
important to understand is this: Each Samurai puzzle is ONE puzzle,
not five separate Sudoku puzzles that just overlap each other.
Occasionally people claim that, for example, the "bottom right" 9X9
puzzle had more than one solution. Well, yes it may, but the entire
puzzle can be solved in only one way. Never resort to guessing! For
