FOUR / EYES (1A. With 69-Across, childish taunt … and a homophonic hint to the answers to the asterisked clues), along with four answers containing the letter “I” four times each, e.g., IN HIGH SPIRITS (20A. *Elated); NIHILISTIC (32A. *Believing in nothing), GINGIVITIS (43A. *Inflammation of gum tissue) and STRING BIKINIS (54A. *Eensy-weensy beach garments), constitute the interrelated group of this good-looking Monday crossword.
