Michelle goes on-site with former Oxford intern Caleb Madison, the youngest person to publish a crossword puzzle in the New York Times (at the age of 15). A puzzle by his class at Sundays at JASA: A Program of Sunday Activities for Older Adults was recently published in the New York Times and featured on the Wordplay blog.
Lauren gets a private tour of the OUP museum in Oxford with Archivist Martin Maw.
This slideshow features the crossword class in action, and some impressively old printing relics.
