4% N AND Q Abridged journal‘s urge is suppressed in squandering 9! An anagram (ALL CHANGE, the answer to ‘9'A) of ‘squandering' less (‘suppressed') ‘urge is'. I am quite prepared to believe that N & Q is some journal, but I do not have the slightest idea what it is in full. Note that the construction explicitly states that the anagram is taken first, to get URGE IS N AND Q, and then ‘urge is' can be removed without further anagramming (or, for good measure, the ALL CHANGE could cover ‘urge is' as well). Afterthought: is it Notes and Queries, for a personal journal, rather than a publication? (7)
