    Notation
    1A double definition; peach PIT = stone and Axe deodorant used in the armPIT 3A DD again, like every TOMcat, Dick & Harry 4A Another DD! OUT of the closet and OUT like a light 5A Arrest = NAB = ban (prohibition) overturned 6A And yet another DD! Take in (a movie) = SEE = court, as in date someone 1D Spoonerism! Collection = Set; Wails on = Pounds. Spoonerize it and you’ve got Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys groundbreaking album of 1966 2D Anagram! “bet I’m late” rearranges to TIMETABLE = schedule
