Wall Street Journal hint (April 12, 2014)

Below the fold is a set of hints to the weekend’s Wall Street Journal puzzle, a variety crossword called Beginnings and Ends by Patrick Berry.

In the left column are the first words of each of the Ends clues.  The second column is the enumeration of the answer and the third column identifies the row or column it belongs in, numbered from 1 at the top (angling upwards) to 20 at the bottom (angling downwards).

When you’re done, stay for Sunday brunch with more cryptic and variety puzzles.
