I suspect not as I see the clues in both the PDF and the PUZ file in the OP.
What format are you using that doesn't have these clues.

Puz.

I see both clues in AcrossLite - both on the iPad and on my iMac.

67. Baby yeti shoe size
68. RRRRR

So have no idea why you aren't seeing them.

Those are my 68 and 69 ACROSS. And I don't even understand why RRRRR is "IES"...

Sounds like a corrupted download then.

The acrosses are:

66. 2013 Spike Jonze dreamed (HER)
71. "-y" + "-y" (IES)

71A can be explained as the pluralization of Y words (1 LADY, 2 LADIES or 1 -Y, 1 -IES) in general.

My puz file was complete.

Yeah it must have been corrupted. But either kudos or razzes to Alphacross (the Android .puz file app that I use) for still letting me fill in the puzzle!

Achilles pairs with the Tortoise; and the Crab with his Genes.

True confessions-- while test solving, I never even saw the floating rectangles with the periphery message -- the Saturday nudges clued me in to that! I just noticed the 4 letters, remembered my HS bio, didn't even consider the pairing issue, appreciated them squiggling (serious scientific term) down the middle and decided it was a go!

I saw the double helix and knew the answer was DNA.

But I vaguely remembered that the amino acids also have single letter abbreviations. So I couldn’t resist decoding to see if that spelled anything. No joy.

lol seems like one I should have gotten given that I teach organic for a living. OTOH, the mispairing probably hurt me more because of that.
