Many thanks, Kayakamina, for the hints...Only 32a is still giving some trouble despite the hint about SER=abbreviation of series. But, know also that I have been doing "traditional" puzzles and cryptics for some time now and have been faring quite well. I must admit, though, that the type a la Spectator is much different and as I go along, I am getting the hang of it. With people like you who are willing to help novices in this type of puzzle, I am sure to become a pro like you! Many thanks again!
