Today’s ThemeThere are six theme entries, five running across — at 22, 38, 67, 93 and 114 — and one at 4D. Each is straightforwardly clued in italics; a couple of them were easy enough for me, and a few were nice and chewy. I think the next theme entry I knew for was 22A’s mirror image, “Timekeeper on the Emerald Isle” or IRISH WRISTWATCH, which was also pretty apparent with a few crosses to help. At 58D, there’s a revealer entry that hopefully had its desired effect on you — it certainly did for me, a perfectly adequate fast talker. I tried and failed to say each of the theme entries FIVE TIMES FAST.
