This week's puzzle is titled EXECUTIVE SEARCH by Matt Gaffney
The answer to this week's contest is a U.S. President
Good luck with the grid and the meta
On another note, for our literary experts, in today's WSJ, there is an article about a pressing issue. After a period, do you leave one space or two?

Toes in sand, (non-alcoholic) drink in hand. Impressive and fun puzzle!

Ashore, I think. A clever construction, but not my favorite puzzle.

Well we know how you feel about this mechanism!

Now you're making me think I'm probably on the wrong shore. Must be an off week for me.

Seems like about a year and half since I've solved a frigging meta, but I did it! On shore.

On the beach. No mosquitoes, fortunately. Just thinking.

Ashore! Having spent the last two weeks lost at sea, it is so nice to feel the warm sand under our feet.

I feel like I am onshore - could just be a mirage. I feel like what I found could only yield one answer but am too tired right now to see why I am missing part of it. Maybe later or tomorrow.

Haven't looked at the puzzle yet, but any nun will tell you, "two spaces after a period." Expect a ruler to bloody your knuckles if you disagree.
