In march, a revolutionary leader like Mao? (8)
I believe the answer is:
chairman
'mao?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in march a revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'march'+'a'='inmarcha'
'inmarcha' is an anagram of 'CHAIRMAN'.
'leader like' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chairman that I've seen before include "He presides at a meeting" , "Presiding male at meetings" , "Sedentary male of a committee" , "Officer who presides at meetings" , "One in charge of a meeting" .)
