I have added a partially filled-in grid here:

Holes remain in top-right corner.
Put off to anothr session.
Grid fills are better than previous times with greater control over what went into the grid.
No analysis has been made of the clues, as I copied the Col's and Shuchi's answers before adding mine.

Later I did complete the puz though I did not update the iamge file.

Trojan horse, which I believe is the def, can give DECOY. But the answer is DECOYS (n, plural, or verb sing. present tense). That is why I was hesitant to put it in.
