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?"
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).
