Nor have I, not even now, with only one "normal" solution unfound, namely
43a. I have ?HE???S? Where does it split? Begins THE ??? Can anyone confirm that's correct, and possibly give a HINT ???
i was wondering whether the title could be interpreted as Never Never especially because of one possibility for 37d, but can't get any further than that
Thanx a million, hankir --- your first good turn in the new year! Just one problem: for 1a I have the crossers ?N???TU?, and for 30a ?OAN, neither of which seem to appear in the "list"! Can you give me a further little hint? I realize one of them might be the "fanciful" one..................
Fanciful indeed. A female one? Never.
I think 37D and 39A taken together are in a prophecy. So the current occupier of the office is considered the last or Never Again.
BTW, the fifth letter in 16A can be N or T. Which is it?
