1d. fight date . . . 10 letters. - n - a - e - - -t
18a.thought it might be mexican standoff but the letters i have there will not correspond to that answer. I have pixilated for 17d which gives the i and if it were mexican that letter should be a. By the way 18a is not a question------ it is a diagram which looks like big hats with foreign writing between the two hats. Can that be worked out?
