Sunray, it's always good to give the clues - you'll increase your chances of getting help! Not everyone has a copy … or still has a copy.

malone, you are right.
But I was responding to the message from drxx in which he gave me a nudge.

For the record, clues are:

26.It's at the heart of reports air-traffic control put up (4) OC??

31. Is confusingly complex system what obscures the view? (5) SM??E.

The last letter of 26 is third letter of 31.

Thanks, Sunray.

31 The S = is, it comes up in crosswords quite often and Maze is the confusingly complex system, Smaze is what obscures the view.

26 The O is the centre letter of 'repOrts' and ATC is air traffic control. Put up = reverse, so CTA. O Cta.

In 26, the centre letter = It's at the heart of....

Thanks malone.
I had OCTA and SMAZE penciled in.
Just did not know how to parse.

Glad my parsing rounded things off, Sunray. I don't always bother, even for myself ... and I'm sometimes wrong!

Many thanks to all for your input re. 21 across. On balance I think I will go with TEFF.

I'm sure that drxx's parsing of 21ac (TEFF) is correct, but I think this is one of those situations where two words/expressions (here 'harass' and 'tee off') have a shared synonym ('annoy') but are not themselves synonymous. 'Harass' means to annoy in the sense of 'pester', while 'tee off' means to annoy in the sense of 'make angry'. I think something like 'anger' would have been preferable here to indicate 'tee off', although it would have weakened the surface reading.
