They have daily regular crosswords, variety & math puzzles Friday, Saturday.
Cryptics are not always tagged as such.

Thanks, Syzygy - really nice puzzle. A few favourites were 6a, 13a & 19d.
I'm not sure of the parsing for 11a. Is DO an abbreviation for department?

Another marvel- brilliant construction. Thanks, syzzie. Some favorites: 23, 26, 27, 29D.

mattrom: DOE (Department of Energy) in RES.

Thanks, Aristo, I wasn't familiar with the acronym.

Have done most of the top but can't really get going on the lower half ( except 36, 38 ac and 24 and 34 dn). Can someone please give me a clue for 23 dn?
Like most textbooks surely,outside of central Texas (The answer to be entered has 7 letters and is a word, but the answer to the clue is 6 as I understand the rules)

and 25 dn
Agents receiving $1000 athletc shoes (Probably 6)

23 D. Six letters - Surely, with 'central Texas' in the middle.

25 Agents... secret agents...

Sorry, and for 25 D, add 1000 to get the athletic shoes.

Thank you malone
Stll being stupid, working on them

Just done 25 dn! Simples

The other one is solved in the very same way....
