BEAR SESSION
The Puzzlemaster Presents Vol. 2
Will Shortz

[Note from JA: This is a tricky one.]

Consider the phrases " _____ bear" and " _____ session." Think of a word that can go in the first blank; then change its first letter to the next letter of the alphabet in order to get what goes in the second blank. What is it?

HINTS:
1. Notice that the directions ask for "what goes in the second blank" - not what word goes in the second blank.
2. The answer involves abbreviations.

First answer:

PANDA  BEAR

Second answer:

Q AND A SESSION
