Accurate response for Numbers 5 & 10 by Jamesian and vheissu, respectively. Great job!!

Let me update the clues and ease them out a bit at the same time. But up to a certain point only. If I go any further it will be a giveaway .... and then you will accuse me of insulting your intelligence!

#2: Unseen boss of lovely lady detectives known as Angels / 28th American president's / Maybe civil, Second World, Boer, 100 Years, of the Roses, Iran-Iraq

#3: Layman's term for tibia+ synonym for drug pusher's minus 2 vowels / Tabulate

#4: The Maker of the universe+ found

#6: The Last Name of the playwright George Bernard+ body part that's between the knee and the ankle / Procurement

#7: Thousands of trrees make up a / Goofy

#8: Excepting / Hush-hush / Crystal's co-star in 'When Harry Met Sally'

#9: Face+ another body part (one with the SA node)

Come on, folks! It's time to flex those gray cells, wake up those slumbering synapses! Good luck!
