Crossword 298: Having It Both Ways; or, Flaring Up and Calming Down

March 9, 2024 David Bywaters

Ambrosini Jérôme (a.k.a. James Parker), Rubens Presenting His Picture 'Peace and War' to Charles I


I’ve always wanted to have it both ways—to work a little and make a lot, to eat or drink what I please and remain healthy nonetheless, to treat others ill and be treated well by those others.  But I can’t, according to the proverb—except in a crossword.
