	AZPACONY by Ilana Stern / October 1992

After I posted my 5x5 "CLUEGE" puzzle, I got enough email encouragement to
create a "real" cryptic.  This one is (I think) fairly easy and straight-
forward, although it does have a theme, of sorts.  As an incentive to
solvers, I will mail a prize to the first person who sends me email 
explaining what the theme is and identifying all expressions of it in 
this puzzle.
