    Lots of excellent cluing, as per usual. I saw through the 11A clue immediately, but didn't want to commit to any act immediately. I reckon you got the difficulty about right!

        I'd say Friday-ish. Thoughtfully and interestingly clued, as always! I got a particular kick out of the clues for EDITORS and INCH.

          Very nice work. Some nice misdirects that I didn't see coming, like 26-Across, 45-Across, and 49-Across. Favorite clue was 1-Down.
