After finally getting WOK I had it narrowed down to--guess what? Oh yeah: the NW!<br /><br />Shame on me for not getting ACNE sooner, but the bigger holdup was a simple misread of a clue--which I repeated many times. In 15a I kept reading "flight" instead of "fight." Over and over I made this mistake, and just couldn't make sense of it. The 1-down clue was, of course, zero help for me, even after I had ___BAND. I eventually worked it out when I finally saw the word "fight," but was on the point of giving up several times. So, it shouldn't have been that hard. It just was.
