More specifically, a gigantic, enormous, gargantuan crossword. Tiao is the proud owner of one “World’s Largest Crossword,” a massive tapestry of downs and acrosses with over 28,000 clues. The seven-by-seven foot puzzle, which hangs on a wall in Tiao’s room in Weld Hall, was a high school graduation gift.

After its blunders in Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. does not want to be seen as antagonizing another Muslim state, and the E.U. is foot dragging, probably out of fear of reprisal attacks by Islamist militants.
