Crossword puzzle in The New York Times with 007 clues.

Reader Gary J. Firuta passed along word (and an image) of a May 15 New York Times crossword puzzle with various James Bond-themed clues.

They were:

–Instead of 7 down, it’s 007 down. The clue: “What the answers to the italicized clues share, in two ways.”

–17 across: 1962-67, 1971. (No credit for Never Say Never Again, it would appear.)

–27 across: 1987-89.

–35 across (with 39 across): 1973-85.

–48 across: 1995-2002.

–63 across: 2006-
