Severn... your letters are wrong for 63. The answer to that one is just an anagram ('criminal') of Klan and Low.

59 Your O is wrong, I think.

64 I can't remember what I had for that, I'll look back!

severn, you have some bad crossers.

63 is an anagram KNOW-ALL
59 is a charade IN DENIAL
Don't have my paper at hand, but 64 maybe TURNED AGAINST

Geeker, thanks for that. 64 definitely didn't look right, but I felt I should check before saying there were more wrong letters!

65d: defin. "doctors" (in a way...), anag of "enter US"
74a: defin. "overact", AC inserted in 5 letters for "public"
71d is a hidden, one of my favo(u)rite clues in the puzzle.

Sorry, I mistakenly typed the solution to 74a...defin. is "ham"

I really shouldn't be having a problem with a five character clue, but to complete the puzzle I'd appreciate some help with 39d!

Date with First Lady holding large probe D_L_E

My parsing is D for date; IL for first lady & then nothing springs to mind.

EVE was the first lady (quite common in crosswords) so DELVE

I’m stuck on 42across. I have T?L?N? And it looks like the answer should be TALENT but I can’t get that from the clue.
