Would appreciate help with final clues.
23a. First letters from a pal, first of many.(7) I have A?R?N?M
19d. Raced over to judge to tell the story.(7) I have N?R?A?E. Is it "narrate?"

[Mamyalynne]

acronym
narrate

[bibblebub]

23a) a crony m

19d) yes - raced over = ran reversed = NAR, judge = RATE

[bulliver]

acronym - 'a crony' + 'm'(any)
narrate - 'ran' (reversed) + 'rate' (judge)

[dannyk13]

23a.Acronym
19d Yes .Nar= raced over plus rate

[Flyhalf]

23a. What do you call the use of first letters of a name for the whole? e.g. NATO for North Atlantic Treaty ORganisation?
19d Ran reversed + rate (assess, or judge).
