Schwa hits the Big Time!

[sagehen]

 Schwa can be found peeking out from the gloom of arcana into the full glare
of general culture (it says here) with this week's edition of /The Nation./
It appears in Puzzle No.3128.  Frank Lewis gives it a *very* broad hint in
the  clues.  I don't pay much attention to the NYT-type  puzzle any more,
but I have, over the years, & I don't think I've ever run across "schwa" in
any other puzzle.
