Cavanagh fits 22d but I am sure other names and words will fit. Is there a theme? to the unclued entries?

I just got 22d and 36a immediately after I sent my request,roslyn! I am looking at 18d again! Thanks much!

Question Author

I do not understand how the second L in 18d is wrong, as it seems to fit neatly with the penultimate L in 42a. Any further clarifications? Thanks!

Question Author

Sorry about that! I had too many letters in 18d! I have it now! Thanks for the help! It's finished!

roslyn251254

18d is 4,6 not 4,7 ... check the bars in your grid
so yes that L is correct in 42a, but it's the A immediately before that's wrong (41a is te N d)
