| Vaughan Reclaims Title in Emotional Crossword Contest Crossword aficionado Dewey Vaughan lived a week of Hell after his stunning defeat to the sultry Shawn Ann Patterson. The cloud of defeat did not rest over Dewey for long as he re-claimed his crossword title Monday. You could sense the intensity as Vaughan's pen practically burned the newsprint slashing to his well earned victory. Once he was able to answer the difficult thirteen letter " Name of plump dance craze singer" then slide to the finish with " FDR therapeutic resort". Vaughan raised his pen in victory. As in victory or defeat Vaughan congratulated the former champ, Patterson, with a prolonged hug. Some observers mentioned the two hugged for such a long time the many onlookers began to feel uncomfortable. It was finally noticed that both Vaughan and Patterson had fallen asleep and were gently snoring leaned against each other like two trees. Once awake the two shook hands and moved to opposite ends of the Lucky Star bar as if nothing ever happened. (Story by Spiro Nixon, Staff Writer) |
