Answers and discussion of the 12.3 cryptic

[rhu]

elainetyger suggested that I post the answers to yesterday's cryptic, and have a discussion thread. To prevent the answers from being picked up by the RSS feed to Facebook, I'll post them as the first comment to this entry. (So if you're reading this on Facebook, please come to my LiveJournal blog at http://530nm330hz.livejournal.com/353588.html to see and comment.)
