G&G's Crossword Puzzle

(Editor's note: I decided to redo this crossword puzzle, mainly to fix a couple of errors that existed in the original 1990 version, but also because I found this online crossword puzzle maker that saved me a load of time and effort. I wish I had that 20 years ago...)

After compiling all the other articles for this issue, there were still some things that G&G felt still shouldn't be forgotten. Our Editor also felt like creating a crossword puzzle. To that end, G&G went and killed two birds with the same stone.
