...intrenched beyond possibility of attack in his post, which, since Mr. Coolidge became President, carries the Vice Presidential salary of $12,000. At any time a coalition of Democrats and insurgent Republicans can unseat him. He is co-author of the Esch-Cummins Transportation Act which is anathema to the La Follette group...
...shutting its ears to all talk of the war, America is not a whit different from other countries. To a large part of the world the very sound of the word has become anathema. What shall be said, then, when but six years after the close of one tremendous catastrophe, Mr. Villard, the editor of the Nation, returns from Europe and in a speech last Sunday night predicts another by next April? Have people's sensibilities become so dulled that they are unable to conceive of another war germinating out of the war to end wars...
...accord him only toward the end of his hardship-ridden life. The Life of the Scorpion is typical both of his method as a naturalist and of the charm of his style-a style which fascinates many a reader to whom a technical book on entomology would be anathema.

Fabre struggled for nearly 40 years, teaching physics, chemistry and mathematics (not the subjects that he loved) in provincial schools in Corsica...
...history of football relations between Dartmouth and Harvard has been extremely varied, like the ebb and flow of the tides. Although the study of statistics is likely to be anathema to the sensitive and intellectual soul, a glance at the football game records in the Harvard H Book ought to fire a spark of interest even in the highbrow. The first battle with Dartmouth was held in 1882, when each player believed, like Samson, that his source of strength lay in his side-burns. From then on, the results of these games and the positions which they occupied upon...
Even by the conservative financial element to whom Hearst papers are usually anathema, the active part taken by these journals (in Manhattan) in running down bucketshops has been very generally commended. With most New York papers, the bucketshops (TIME, June 18) furnished merely a nine days' wonder. But the Hearst papers refused to abandon the trail-they forced public officials to take action on several occasions, were fearless in revealing the curious political alliances which some of the most notorious bucketshops (especially E. M. Fuller & Co.) possessed. If any single papers deserve public recognition for compelling the exposure...
