If it's The Week 664 these are the answers you need lynne.

1d Newsman
13a Nettled

The reason I asked is that 665 is now out.

That's a coincidence, I've just finished 665.
It all became more straighforward after solving 4 down.

sarumite,
I too have enjoyed tackling 665, but I'm stuck on 17a:-
Dubya's most mischievous fighting reserve? (3,5)
I have _A_,C_E_T
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I make it War Chest. Not 100% why. I think W for Dubya, archest meaning most mischievous and War Chest meaning fighting reserve

Hi Wombat and Craig

Yes 17a is WAR CHEST ... the "W" is from 'Dubya' the nickname of George W Bush, and then as you say "archest" = (most mischievous).

thanks to both sarumite and craig
I hadn't heard of archest before so it wasn't something I was looking for
