Answer:  “DIVERSE–CITY“

(LOVE it!  That’s America, baby.  No new clue words, but all of the jumbles came up as new.  The only one I didn’t see instantly was “nearly”.  Okay, maybe “viper” took half a second.  I thought Hoyt’s answer letter layout was brilliant.  It gave nothing away.  The cartoon does a great job of covering the bases.  Blacks and Whites, a Hasidic man, an Indian woman, a mom with a stroller, a young man on a skateboard, and a guy in a wheelchair.  I wonder if Jeff snuck in a transgender on us?  That might be a little hard to do in a cartoon, but that is a part of the new us.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  And talk about brilliant?  In “Today in History” it said that on this day in 1880 Teddy Roosevelt married his first wife, Alice Lee.  The day just happened to be his birthday!  So, old Teddy figured out the perfect way of never getting in trouble for forgetting his wedding anniversary, because no one forgets their own birthday.  Genius!  LOL!   —   YUR
