Guardian Cryptic N° 25,757 by Philistine
Posted by PeterO on 3rd October 2012
Philistine has been in the Guardian stable for a little over a year now, but I still made a slow start to this puzzle, trying to get on his wavelength. The effort was well worth it; I found it a fine crossword with plenty of well-camouflaged ingenuity.

Inquisitor 1248: Second, Third and Fourth by Nudd
Posted by HolyGhost on 3rd October 2012

The quotation refers to another Father {capital again} whose last words mention a date of dual significance to both. The occasion is represented by the perimeter, whose unchecked letters “aptly give FATHER FINDS PEACE IN VA”.
