9 letters beginning with P – “Controversial”
12 letters beginning with S – “Surgical instrument for lacerating or puncturing the skin”
13 letters beginning with V – “Named after a British diplomat, an extreme anti-Nazi attitude”
The diplomat is (I think)Van Sittart but how it's made into a 13 letter word, I am not yet sure. Vansittartite?
Does anyone know the answer to "US prisons"? 8 letters beginning with H. I can't track down anything. The only other one I haven't got yet is "Rawhide used for strapping and laces" Begins with B and has 7 letters. But I haven't searched much for that one yet.

Well, being Didymus, he'll have found some obscure speeling. But that's a great help in tracking it down. Thank you
And it's just occurred to me that the rawhide one might be buffalo.
I'll try to see if I can get it all to fit....

Thank you gangesboy! That's a great help.
I think Didymus's obscure spelling might be "husegow". Certainly I have found a couple of quotes using that spelling.
