(See other threads for special instructions.)

I think that I've finished this crossword, but have a few things I cannot work out:

I cannot parse 2D - Loos maybe are something special in North America. I can see that Anita Loos is an author and that "IT" in "NA" (North America) works, but how does the first "A" of Anita fit in? (I am assuming that the "IT" changes to "GIN" (as in Gin & It) and the answer to 2D in ANGINA.

Also, I cannot see which clue holds the definition for 27A Touch & Go. I thought that it was 2D (maybe) but this is a thematic clue not one that holds a definition, so it can't be 2D.

Explanations would be appreciated as I seem to be going round in circles with these last two problems.

Many thanks.
