David Steinberg notes:

Number and clue for 23-Down were missing. 21-Down had two clues stuck together ("Singular traveled in a certain vehicle")—should have been "Singer" (not "Singular" plus the rest) for 21-Down and "Traveled in a certain vehicle" for 23-Down. The latter was the missing clue for 23-Down. 39-Down was misnumbered 38-Down. Number and clue for 38-Down were missing. Added "Irritating." as the clue for 38-Down. Also, added periods to all the clues that were missing them.
