Introduction
Gazza rates today's puzzle as four stars for difficulty, so I must have been tuned to Giovanni's wavelength today as I was able to make excellent progress in solving it. I did end up with an error in one solution.

Commentary on Today's Puzzle
25a & 26a Several things that could make one cry? (6,2,6)
Although there really was no other possibility than STRING and ONIONS for the two 6 letter words, I mistakenly put in OR for the 2 letter word. Obviously, that attempt at a solution left me quite confused until I was set straight by Gazza.
