Monday, Aug.4 NYT & LAT

Here are the answers for yesterday's clues:

Good | girl | is | in spectacles (5)
[G] [LASS] [=] [GLASS]

Naughty | pharaoh (3)
[TUT] = [TUT]

He rose | to speak | to | champions (6)
[HE ROSE] [homophone] [=] [HEROES]

Nerves | caused | T-cell | to abandon | particle (6)
[NEURON] [=] [T] [subtracted from] [NEUTRON]

Significant, constant pain affects? Foot in mouth an awful lot? (3,3)
The key to this one is to re-parse it:
Significant constant | pain affects foot | in mouth, an awful lot!
[PI] [GOUT] = [PIG OUT]

              


Two easy Cryptic clues, an anagram and a reversal,  from the syndicated NY Times (right above, this runs 6 weeks behind the current puzzle, so it was in the NYT 6/22/14) gleaned from the Seattle Times:

Looking back, Jack Frost was a leader (4)

Poems made for laxative salts (5)

Two easy clues from LAT (left above), a hidden and an anagram:

I josh about Nipponese partitions (5)

Inside Tibet, sympathy was starting for Ross (5)

This one from LAT may be a tad harder:

I hear the KKK is backtracking on asinine rhetoric (3,3,3)
