Today’s Newsday Saturday Stumper, by Lester Ruff, is eminently do-able. 31-Across, nine letters, “Toon first called Stinky,” gave me a first chance to begin putting the puzzle together. Four clues that I especially liked: 1-Across, four letters, “Drop off.” (WANE? No.) 10-Down and 11-Down, each six letters, “Slotted for service.” And 24-A, three letters, “Cell trio.” One clue that taught me something: 35-Across, thirteen letters, “They make money from misspelled URLs.” I knew about the practice but didn’t know the name.
Never no spoilers: the answers are in the comments.

PEPELEPEW. DOZE. INLINE. COINOP. MNO. TYPOSQUATTERS.
Apparently writing in that Cousteau was an "aquanaut" and thinking Baryshnikov danced for "Nixon" means it'll take you a long time to solve the upper part of the puzzle 😭
LOL. I had KIROV, but only because the V was in place.
I feel compelled to add that my wife Elaine rode in an elevator with Baryshnikov. But she ended up with me.
Maybe she didn't want to be around someone performing for Nixon ;)
I’m sure that must be the reason. :)
