Comments on the clue
1.Adding "and" seems to make this clunky; seems like it should be part of the anagram.
2.You can italicize words in clues and comments – follow the help links. Don't like Chip, whoever she or he is.
3.The surface is a little strange, the structure only really works if the whole thing is &Lit.
4.The 'and' is superfluous in the wordplay: needs to mean 'are', 'could be', etc.
For surface, name 'Chip' arbitrary, so weak.
