29a panim ( paynim miltonian spelling for heathen)

[roslyn251254]

sorry that should be 1a!

[roslyn251254]

29a might be Homer as in home run in baseball?

[GetOverIt]

1d Les Plaideurs - French play - The Litigants

[GetOverIt]

2d Niall - anagram all in

[GetOverIt]

I presume you are the tommy from the Crossword Help Forum? If so.....

What clue gives you the final i in 7d?

[mra1]

12 a is Menenius ( men (g)enius)

[GetOverIt]

Is that where the final I in 7d comes from?

I ask because Tommy in a thread elsewhere asks.....

7dn,Creator of paradise lost(Italian version)(9)G?G???L?I

Which looks like

Hidden Paradise - Palazzo GUGLIELMO

[aeronut]

Boccherini is an anagram of be rich icon

[tommy-h]

[aeronut]

By Pietro Guglielmi: Il paradiso perduto, cioè Adamo ed Eva per il loro noto peccato discacciati dal paradiso terrestre (azione sacra, libretto by Rasi, 1802, Rome)

I am being stupid I know but the last clue is 4down. The rest came in about 30 minutes. What AM i missing??

[walgraver]

Well, this is a mess. 5D - novel by einstein found in glassworks we hear (2,3,4) 9 letters when in fact it is ten letters. I have O?T?E???C? - help ? Any help with 14A, 28A and 15D would be appreciated
Also, in 8D Arrabin is wrong - it should be Arabin.
3D, Mitchell, is a lousy clue - the obvious answer is Blenheim a WW2 bomber which was involved with the Spanish Civil War. I am becoming increasingly disenchanted with this Crossword and its numerous mistakes - maybe i won't do it any more.

[highbury57]

14a unbeliever 28a Some Do Not 15d Bumbledom

[NC4BBQ]

4d FREY (My Friend Leonard)
5d [letter count is clearly wrong--should be 2,3,5]
"Einstein ON THE BEACH" is a work by GLASS
3d MITCHELL comes close to all clues--altho it seems to have been a WWII bomber--Mitchell in American Civil War
