NOTE FROM GUSSALUFZ  One clue (23a) is missing, but you should be able to find it by reading between lines. Clues for 1d, 24d, 21d, 19d, 22d, 10d, and 26d have been shuffled into a table at the start of the Down clues. You can reshuffle them, and when you get them in the left-to-right order listed here, you will know it. The total number of possible ways to shuffle seven clues (5,040) might be a bit too high, so, instead of trying randomly, look for hints to piece together. Also, solving the other clues would help.
