VALIANT ant=six-footer?
EDIT: I think this is wrong, and the parsing never felt like it fit.

2nd EDIT: Maybe this was correct after all? Second guessing myself, now. Can't make 18A work if I have 18D right.

We don't have 11A. I think that's the last one?

EDIT: Also 10A and 7D?

And I'm not sure of 2D and 3D either.

In fact, that's putting it mildly. I have no idea.
