Thanks so much Rusty you make it seem so easy. Just need to be sure of no 34 then hopefully I can get it filled in

34 'many' is Roman numeral, then 3-letter fool

I don't have 55 ... but suppression of the news was a precautionary measure (5,3)
64 Empty cases - the wine sometimes caused sad disturbance (10)

By the way, the enumeration of 36 should really be (5,6) for the first part, though the clue is clear enough to show what's needed.

Glad to help, Phantom.
Collins Dictionary gives them the way your setter has them.
But I am sure your way could be acceptable, too.
