ESPY definitely: esp. is abbreviation for "especially" + end of May= "y" = espy = notice !
Will try the other one now.......................

Is it not possible that one of your "crossers" is wrong?

Maybe but they fit well - two are anagrams (needs income gives comediennes and "a nice" plus NT gives ancient and the first fits the clue perfectly being honest was with help from the forum!

21d SANSEIS fits; Grandchildren of Japanese immigrants to USA (and other countries), can't parse the clue fully.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisei

Don't much like it as should more properly be NISEI and I would imagine that SANSEI is plural without the "S" at the end.

OK it IS an anagram of S(un) SEA + SIN;

...but a lousy clue!

Hi paul, good call, the parsing could be anagram
(unexpected) of
introduction to sun = s + sea + sin
