Class of 66 (words) here. No surprises: I started at 60-Across and built up. Then went from 1-Across and went down. Favorite clue: 56-Across. Favorite bit of trivia: 12-Down. Hope you enjoy it.
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
UPDATE: Fixed two clues. Thanks to all who pointed out the flubs.
Ron Paul isn’t a SEN, he’s a REP. Rand Paul is a SEN, though.

Ugh.
It all started when JACK KEMP didn’t fit in at 1A for the conservative football player turned politician.
Then it continued with J Jonah Jameson having a CREWCUT instead of a FLATTOP. (That one fit just fine)
Then it continued with “sauna” coming from the SWEDISH instead of the FINNISH. (Yep, another not-so-perfect fit)
And to finish it off, THE RENTS didn’t fit in at 60A. (I’ve never heard of THE OLDS… guess I’m old)
