Eight unclued entries share a common link (four one
way and four the other) the conjunction of which will provide the “man in the
middle” who should be highlighted (seven cells), thereby requiring solvers to determine
the order of the two letters to be entered in the cell that is initially blank
following completion of the grid. Answer
lengths refer to grid entries.
DICK can precede FRANCIS, TURPIN, VAN DYKE and
WHITTINGTON, while DICK can follow CLEVER, CRESSIDA, MOBY and PHILIP K. The “Man in the Middle” is therefore DICK
DICK, giving the central highlighting and the ordering of the two letters (KD) in
the initially blank square to offer both KICKER and DICKER to 25a.
