Almost finished, stymied by just one: 21A, Young male artist - a WASP? I have ?U?S?A. If allusion to Portrait of the Artist, it eludes me. If play on wasp=vespa, it also eludes me. Help?

Solved except for one short one! 23d Arnold (or Allen) initially gets confused about his angry entrances. I have G?T?S, and it seems like the answer must be (initial) A + GETS, so GETAS (Thracian...

Going great guns on this one until I got to the last -- 10d Only mystery on the radio discovering a body in America (4,4): S?U? C?S? Possibly an anagram with CORPSE (or CORPUS)+US? No combinations...

As usual, one last short one has me stumped. 22D Incite to fight -- held by Tybalt -- arrested. I have T?R?E and the only answer I can come up with is TERSE, which sort of fits "arrested," i.e....
