"Free for All XXXII," by Paolo Pasco

Constructor's Comments

Started with READ THE ROOM and the surrounding stack and filled outwards.  This grid is chunkier than I'm used to, but I really like how this one came out.  The flexibility of options for ?????CREDIT and SCHOOL????? really helped fill those NW and SE sections.  I think I made this a few weeks after prom—could you tell from 17-Across and 23-Down?

And!  Props to David for his editorship as usual, since there was a major dupe in the original grid that totally slipped my attention.  MVP, I tell you.
