17a MA??A?I
MA is Michigan

What are the clues, please? Not all of us have the paper and we like to help if we can.

I'm confused. There is no 17ac in today's (13/4/14) prize crossword in The Herald (Glasgow). As mentioned earlier, we are here and pleased to help but you must enter the clue as printed and any letters you may already have. I was last week's winner (Andrew Bryson)!
