It is fitting that 58 years after the launch of the first Times Crossword, under the guidance and expertise of Adrian Bell and Ronald Carton, through the innovations of The Times Jumbo Crosswords and The Times National Crossword Championships in the 60's, 70's and early 80's under the worthy stewardship of my father, Edmund Akenhead, that we should now, thanks, in large measure, to the vision of the present crossword editor, John Grant, be celebrating the launch of yet another first and, indeed, a new dimension in crosswords - the first volumes of THE TIMES COMPUTER CROSSWORDS. Perhaps, it can be claimed that the crossword as an international institution has finally come of age.
