PhotoToday’s New York Times crossword — for Friday, May 12 — is a collaboration between former President Bill Clinton and the Arkansas district court judge Victor Fleming of Little Rock. Judge Fleming is a regular Times puzzle contributor. Today’s collaboration is a natural extension of the friendship between Mr. Clinton and Mr. Fleming, which dates back to 1984, when their daughters, Chelsea and Liz, took swimming lessons from the same teacher. President Clinton, famously, is an accomplished crossword solver, “always” doing the Sunday Times puzzle, as well as the Thursday through Saturday puzzles when he can. When I was president, I worked no telling how many hundreds and hundreds of crossword puzzles.
