          Partial answer



          Alas, I have left a few clues undone and I have to go to bed.




          enter image description here




          A few remarks on the things I haven't solved yet:




          10a seems to have quite a few possible parsings (good!). I wonder whether 18a is GMAT, which would require GM to be "public school". Could e.g. be George Mason University? I suspect there are actually several standardized tests matching --AT and probably for more than one there's a public school/university matching the first two letters. 11d seems likely to be the name of a particular disputed territory but I haven't found a sufficiently convincing candidate. "Loud" might be "f" or a homophone indicator. AF---I-? Something that sounds like HOODIE (perhaps with an A at the start, perhaps not)? Bleh, can't find anything that works. SOMALIA would fit with GMAT but it hasn't really been a "disputed territory" for a while, has it? In any case I don't see how to get a sweater out of that.




          And some comments, as requested, on the others.




          Not bad at all, but I have a number of quibbles. Several "indirect anagrams" -- i.e., the answer, or a part of the answer, consists of an anagram of a word indicated only by a definition. That's generally viewed as Bad because there are just way too many possibilities. Some rather dodgy homophones; I particularly dislike 61a and 7d (though the latter might be partly a difference in accents). A few definitions aren't really definitions; e.g., "relaxation" doesn't define LAGRANGIAN; there is a mathematical technique called "Lagrangian relaxation" meaning relaxation of the Lagrangian, but "this word sometimes goes together with that word" does not a definition make :-). In general, the clues often feel too "straightforward" -- there's only one plausible way to parse them as crossword clues and/or the most obvious parsing of the surface reading is also the correct way to parse them as clues. On the other hand, the grid has rather little "checking" -- only a small fraction of the cells are shared between multiple clues. This means that if the solver gets stuck on one clue it can be very difficult to make progress -- and when some of the clues involve not-entirely-fair constructions like indirect anagrams, this is particularly irksome. (That was one reason why 61a annoyed me: it was a slightly iffy clue and its only interaction with the rest of the crossword was an E at the end of it.)

              Partial answer



              Alas, I have left a few clues undone and I have to go to bed.




              enter image description here




              A few remarks on the things I haven't solved yet:




              10a seems to have quite a few possible parsings (good!). I wonder whether 18a is GMAT, which would require GM to be "public school". Could e.g. be George Mason University? I suspect there are actually several standardized tests matching --AT and probably for more than one there's a public school/university matching the first two letters. 11d seems likely to be the name of a particular disputed territory but I haven't found a sufficiently convincing candidate. "Loud" might be "f" or a homophone indicator. AF---I-? Something that sounds like HOODIE (perhaps with an A at the start, perhaps not)? Bleh, can't find anything that works. SOMALIA would fit with GMAT but it hasn't really been a "disputed territory" for a while, has it? In any case I don't see how to get a sweater out of that.




              And some comments, as requested, on the others.




              Not bad at all, but I have a number of quibbles. Several "indirect anagrams" -- i.e., the answer, or a part of the answer, consists of an anagram of a word indicated only by a definition. That's generally viewed as Bad because there are just way too many possibilities. Some rather dodgy homophones; I particularly dislike 61a and 7d (though the latter might be partly a difference in accents). A few definitions aren't really definitions; e.g., "relaxation" doesn't define LAGRANGIAN; there is a mathematical technique called "Lagrangian relaxation" meaning relaxation of the Lagrangian, but "this word sometimes goes together with that word" does not a definition make :-). In general, the clues often feel too "straightforward" -- there's only one plausible way to parse them as crossword clues and/or the most obvious parsing of the surface reading is also the correct way to parse them as clues. On the other hand, the grid has rather little "checking" -- only a small fraction of the cells are shared between multiple clues. This means that if the solver gets stuck on one clue it can be very difficult to make progress -- and when some of the clues involve not-entirely-fair constructions like indirect anagrams, this is particularly irksome. (That was one reason why 61a annoyed me: it was a slightly iffy clue and its only interaction with the rest of the crossword was an E at the end of it.)
