On shore!
Somehow, though, my usual Meta joy is seriously dampened by the awful news coming in from Afghanistan.

solved - at least it didn't say well known

The first step was to figure out which title was correct. The one on the WSJ site or the one on the puzzle. This is not a spoiler.

*Solved yesterday. Admins: Feel free to move my post below Page 1.
How did you solve this yesterday? Is this the start of the great WSJ scandal?
Apparently one of the regular WSJ puzzles accidentally linked to this meta puzzle, so the Muggles who saw it had the chance to solve prematurely -- before it was taken down!

On shore. Had not heard of the movie; had to resort to Google. Glad to be starting a new streak! Manhattan for me!

On shore!

And will be for real, for a few days next week, in a last burst of summer fun. Can’t wait! (It’s HOT here!)

Since I solved this yesterday, I asked that my original post be deleted. So you made page 1.

Missed page 1 by THAT much. On shore quickly this week. Makes a nice change from the last few months.

On shore. Super easy meta - not surprised I’m on Page 2 at 4:30. Pray for the safety of our Troops!
