Just when I thought it would be a quiet week, the April Maltby is available on the Harper's website to subscribers!!!
Enjoy!

Funny, I never look for the puzzle online. I always wait for the print edition in my mail. Came today. Just did the puzzle, and indeed enjoyed. I especially chuckled at the alternative title for the puzzle (hint c).

Even funnier, I completely forgot about the three hints until now and solved without them—would have solved faster if I had remembered! I do appreciate the alternate title in retrospect. (I also solve in the print edition, which is arriving in a more timely manner these days.)

"Hint b" really took me back to my misspent youth in Catholic School![\spoiler]

I enjoyed it, as well, with more than a few chuckles along the way. Was glad to see my print issue arrive the same day the online edition went "live," especially since I never got the hard copy last month.
