Statesman's article in the next edition (5)
I believe the answer is:
texan
'the next edition' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'statesman's article' is the wordplay.
'statesman's' becomes 'tex' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'tex'+'an'='TEXAN'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for texan that I've seen before include "One from south-west USA" , "like LBJ" , "Native of Houston, perhaps" , "Inhabitant of Dallas?" , "From a large US state" .)
