Clues use two-letter initials to identify eight famous people; includes last week's puzzle answer (Light saber → blaster) and a new anagram challenge EASTERN TIME.

Actor Gooding Jr. 3. Artist O'Keeffe 4. Media personality Hilton 5. Composer Irving 6. Actress Fanning 7. Actress Ferrera 8. Adventurer in film Jones 9. Spy in film Powers 10. Video game traveler Carmen 11. Artist Pollock 12. [Phonetic:] Jazz pianist Chick

MEDIATION --> C to make MEDICATION or T to make MEDITATION IMPERIOUS HEADWATER PACEMAKER REHEARING SIMULATED GEOLOGIST ETERNALLY MINESTONE IMPLEMENT Last week's challenge Last week's challenge came from Bobby Jacobs, of Glen Allen, Va.
