Clue/Question:  The man who sold fake tennis equipment online was charged with . . .

Answer:  RACKETEERING

(Does it have to be online to be racketeering???  I don’t know.  Looks to me like the guys are just trying to keep the gag current.  I liked the clue word jumbling.  Especially “invoke”.  The compound word, “eyelid” gave me a little pause.  They always do.  Fantastic job on the answer letter layout.  Todays’ newspaper had a little notice in it, saying that due to some kind of distribution problem there was no Living Here section.  That’s the section with the funnies and the games!  Luckily, they also send me an online link every day.  I’m glad I didn’t have to let you guys down.  Be well and do well friends.)   —   YUR
