Hi, felipedon,

19 was the last 12 letter answer I got. The inserted word is “handles”. The definition is “suppler of sensational info”, nothing to do with gossips or scandalmongers, but rather a hint at what passes on sensations to the brain. “South” is the standard abbreviation, “American agents “ gives CIA, “jerk” gives TIC, and the second word is a synonym for “courage”.

Thanks. That's what had me fooled for so long: I was convinced it must be a synonym for scandal-monger. I got it eventually from the wordplay.

I know the answer to 14 must be LED but I just can’t see how the clue works. Any ideas?
