THEME: the meaning of a two-word phrase is changed by a reversal of the letters I and T [it]
GOOD ONES:
Recover from a set back {& theme} TURN-IT-AROUND [literally]
Conditions of kids' shoes...? UNTIED-STATES
Low clouds on an East Asian island? TAIWAN-STRATI
Cheer competitor ERA [detergent]
BTW:
John le Carre writes spy novels, not what Edgars are for. I doubt he ever won an Edgar.
I liked the theme & the challenge
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

Sorry, but this was not my puzzle...although, I wish I had thought of this theme before George Shayler did!!

Hi, Marti ---
Was the error mine or was it printed in the newspaper incorrectly? If mine, I apologize to you, a first-rate constructor, and to George Shayler whose work I don't know.
