The last one is always the most difficult and/or fustrating !! I have probably got something else wrong, but help with 81A "most noticeable" would be much apreciated.
I am not sure that the answer is 'salient' as suggested by baitress.
65d (7) Excess could be 'surfeit 'as opposed to 'surplus'
which could mean that 81 (7) might be 'tallest'
What do others think?
