What's Happening?
NPR's Sunday Puzzle segment, hosted by Will Shortz, presented a challenge involving familiar three-word phrases where the middle word is 'of.' The puzzle included phrases like 'Statue of Liberty' and 'Stroke of Luck.' Last week's challenge involved rearranging the title of a children's book to name a film director and a stage role. This week's challenge, submitted by Bobby Jacobs, involves changing the first letter of a famous athlete's last name to 'L' and rearranging it to form another athlete's name. Listeners are encouraged to submit their answers for a chance to play on-air.
