I really suck at constructing crosswords. Well, actually "suck" is probably too harsh as constructing a crossword seems to be an impossibly difficult exercise: you need to construct a 15x15 grid, place words symmetrically, place theme words symmetrically (or else go themeless and have 72 words or fewer), have fewer than 43 black squares and fewer than 78 words and have each letter belong to exactly two words. That last requirement seems impossible to fulfill and yet there are dozens of professional crossword constructors able to churn these things out on a regular basis. I constructed a crossword myself and satisfied all but the last requirement.
The puzzle is posted above. The solution appears below. (Scroll down.)
