Russian doll puzzles resemble the famous Russian dolls that fit within each other. Here, a word is placed inside another word to form a third word. The clue is read as "Place the first word within the second word to create the third"

-1. clock > hub = measurement unit
-2. US coin > mailed = deposit
-3. sour > croon = beginning
-4. fit within one another > divine = frankly
-5. exposed > word with tom or bob = floor show
-6. US coin > depend = of late
-7. drill > difficult = hid
-8. deficit > carbon fuel = immense
-9. meander > word with bob or dog = ripped off
-10. dossier > nudge = described

Good solves!

Here's a random thought....since my mind is wandering off again. Does anyone remember the movie "The Russians Are Coming" from back in the 60's (or 70's)? Pretty funny.

Yes, I remember "The Russians Are Coming"
You must be almost as old as I.
I think Alan Arkin was in it...very funny!

Yep!

I really liked the movie, Joan. "Emergency, emergency, everybody to get from street!" Oh, the memories!
