This one’s delightfully esoteric – I’d normally consider it a bit too jargony for my tastes, but it’s an original clue I was not expecting and cute to boot. (A quad is a printer’s term for a space [originally referring to the metal spacer itself] – either an em or and en, and en em quad is also known as a “mutton quad.” I had to look that up – I was aware of the printer’s term “quad” but not “mutton.”)

Off to you @panache45

Yeah, I was afraid it was too jargony, but decided to go with it anyway. As a former typographer, I’ve known the term for 50 years.

Ok, this should be interesting:

JOHNSON

904
  1. Lakers’ Magic
  2. Half of a pharmaceutical corporation
  3. Very interesting Laugh-In cast member
905
  1. Howard, of orange-roofed fame
  2. Mop-topped UK PM
  3. The most common surname in Rock Ridge
906
  1. Big Unit
  2. Masters partner
  3. “London” poet
  4. Willy
  5. Shared presidential surname

(Actually, I’m debating whether “Willy or John Thomas” is better for #4 or gives it away too much or is too esoteric on the latter.)

Youngsters may not get this, but I had to give it to @Gyrate. It brought back too many crazy memories. Some of you may have to Google Bill Saluga.

Somewhat disappointed you didn’t go with “Part of a large organ you pull”, but I accept that not everyone’s mind is in the gutter like mine is.
