Iq 1595

[hankir]

Each is two clues and just wordplay. No definitions. Length 3 to 8.
Is the French clue the red herring? (Not listed below)

US city retaining fool in Government after short while

College rising when strangeness is found in elementary particle

Hurried to secure old Times pages linked to onein US city

[hankir]

I have the answer to first part of Hurried to secure.

[hankir]

I also have both answers to US city...

Need both answers to
College rising....

and second part of Hurried to secure...

[ProfessorMaisie]

'College...' - CHILL + PASSION
'Hurried...' - NIPPY

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorMaisie.

I had Hurries as Hied around O+TT.
So that is wrong.

What is pages linked to one US city?

I do not know French, so no idea what that clue means.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...yes - the French clue is the redherring (and the wordplay is in French too).

[ProfessorMaisie]

... hankir, the French wordplay = R(echerchons) inside BAINS ('baths').

[ProfessorMaisie]

... that's NIPPY - '...pages linked to one' = IPP (inside NY)

[ProfessorMaisie]

'...Hurried...' is SPED around O(ld) TT ('times') SPOTTED

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorMaisie.
Almost there and yet little mistakes.
Your help greatly appreciated.

[jadzia49]

Could it also be nappy for “pages linked to one in US city”?

[ProfessorMaisie]

That could be justified by wordplay, jadzia49 ('one' could be A or I) but 'nappy' isn't a thematic answer - NIPPY is.
