FOIST?

WAGGERY?
19d Conflict in Washington about keeping some distance (7) - - R - A - E
WARFARE?
Thanks.

21d yes, Jackie Mason is an old-style Jewish comic and so would pronounce 'first' as 'foist'

[bibblebub]

19d yes - washington = WA., about = RE, some distance = FAR

Thanks. never heard of Jackie Mason, but I should have seen explanation for WARFARE.

[bibblebub]

i can't yet come up with the wordplay for 19a but it does look like it has to be waggery

[bibblebub]

got it - JAGGERY is unrefined sugar made from palm sap http://www.thefreedictionary.com/jaggery so get rid of [smother] the J from that

Thanks a lot. I was finished after all.
