The hints in the <a href="http://puzzles.blainesville.com/2013/03/npr-sunday-puzzle-mar-24-2013-five-by.html">original post</a> were "Aside from" = APART, "Subjecting" = things you might study as in PANDA (zoology), DRAMA and ATLAS (geography). The last clue was "& let" since the consonants in "aMPeRSaND LeT" are the ones used in the puzzle.Blainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06379274325110866036noreply@blogger.com22
