Here is a double year-end version of the PEOPLE Puzzle. The names of 40 people who were prominent in 1979 are hidden in the maze of letters. How many can you find by consulting the brief clues? The names read forward, backward, up, down or diagonally; they are always in a straight line and never skip letters. We have started you off by circling GERE, the answer to 1 in the diagram. The names may overlap and letters may be included more than once, but not all of the letters will be used. Super sleuths should be able to identify at least 30. Answers will run in the Jan. 7 issue.
