15..You can go with "love", a corruption of a French "zero", AND you can use 40-40, said as..?

And the last...

14..NCor, with splendid dietary habits, gives us kohlrabi.

15..VAUC offers the eccentric "deuce" (or "beide" or "igualis", depending on where a match is held).

16..And if you take rbny's answer and add the people who spread across eastern Turkey and northern Iraq,
you get a nursery rhyme's dietary suggestion.

17.."Summertime"

18..Wisconsin is cited by VTC & Pinot & NCor & geordi.

19..After the hint, Howard Hughes is conjured by Repl & VAUC.

20..Bataan is identified by Pinot & VTC.

21..Rbny cites that the lady was judged non-proficient in English. Happened in Ariz or Texas.

22..VTC ok as a lightweight material used in pottery. And you thought he was just a tea-partyer.

23.."Come Rest"

24..It is Teach Me Tonight. Brenda Lee may have recorded it, but she did not have the hit.
Rbny & Upink

25..Like geordi & NCor said--Nukes in space.

Once again, I take credit in warding off our dementia.
