...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. The other insects that he studied include the spider, fly, mason-bee, bramble-bee, hunting wasp, ant, grasshopper, caterpillar, mason-wasp, weevil, glowworm, sacred beetle and other beetles. 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.

S. He has said in his speeches: "I pity the Socialists. . . . I have read all their books. I know all their arguments. . . . I do not regard them as rational beings. ... If the lesser and immediate demands of labor could not be obtained from society as it is, it would be mere dreaming to preach and pursue the will-o'-the-wisp, a new society constructed from rainbow...
...next month. The Hearst press, however, (not to be outdone) said?on Aug. 25?that he would arrive " in three weeks' time&"i. e., on Sept. 15. At all events, the man who is hated in Germany, loathed in France, detested in Italy,'' whose name is anathema to Central Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, not to mention sundry other places, is coming soon. His visit will be nonpolitical. Sir Alfred Cope, Under Secretary for Ireland (1920-22), in the U. S. to arrange for Mr. Lloyd George's visit, said that Mr. Lloyd George had long been anxious to visit...
