I'm maddened by not getting the last three. 2D: Prison 14 (14=COVERAGE). I have ?A?E [CAGE???] 3D: My call to accommodate ex-president. I have ?R?K?Y. 4D: Skirt as worn by 6 that's no chicken! [Clue 6 is STRUNG but I don't think that can be relevant] I have ?A?A / ?V?S. Help!

2d Cage - 'c' (over) 'age' 3d Crikey (my!) - 'Ike' (president, in) 'cry' (call) 4d Rara avis (rare bird, so not chicken) - 'rara' (skirt) + 'as' (worn by; around) 'VI' (6, Roman)

Rara avis
2 yes C(OVER)age

4 Rara avis
3 Crikey

Cry + Ike
Crikey (Cr IKE y)
2d Cage - 'c' (over) 'age'
3d Crikey (my!) - 'Ike' (president, in) 'cry' (call)
4d Rara avis (rare bird, so not chicken) - 'rara' (skirt) + 'as' (worn by; around) 'VI' (6, Roman)
Skirt - RaRa + As + VI (6)
19d uses the same idea as 2d
2d cage
3d Crikey
4d rara avis
