Jazzgirl, your parsing seemed fine to me. I often don't even bother doing it unless I have to! The Spectator crossword has been an awful lot easier recently - and often it's not been quite as much fun.
I have two to get at bottom left.
Non thematic, and they intersect. Fourth letter/second letter.
36. Drive son away from cutter ?R??
42. Remove moral flaw from man of power? ??S?O?
TIps or answers welcome!
