“... explosives.Schwartz left Syracuse abruptly in January 1966. Back in New York, he tried to remain anonymous, frequenting Cavanaugh’s Irish pub in Chelsea, where he was less likely to run into old acquaintances. That summer he checked into the Columbia Hotel on West 46th Street. On 11 July, one of the guests rang the front desk at 3 a.m. to complain that ...”

“... definitive contempt. Duncan-Jones points out that the last line occurs in what she terms an ‘anonymous play’, The Reign of King Edward the Third, which was first published in 1596. Some scholars have argued that this play was actually written by Shakespeare, and in 1996 Eric Sams published an edition in which he argues – convincingly, I think ...”

“... the prosecution case against him. In the fortnight after 22 April the police received 25 anonymous phone calls naming potential murderers. None of them mentioned Luke Knight. His name was written in the diary of Michelle Casserley, the cousin of Stacey Benefield, a youth allegedly attacked by a number of the suspects. Michelle had been a girlfriend ...”

“... unfortunate exclusion, a kind of privilege that God keeps to himself, while Kate is thinking of an anonymous public record that she and her family don’t have to pay any attention to: they are not excluded, they are excluding. Just think of what can be known and isn’t in The Wings of the Dove: disgrace, illness, dishonesty, love, charity and a specified ...”

“... unnoticed in guidebooks and I’ve never seen this stocky little squaddy reproduced. It’s anonymous, too, with what seems like the name of the sculptor carved on the side of the plinth more probably an overflow from the list of the dead that fills the front. 8 November. Sitting in the barber’s chair this afternoon I wonder whether there were barbers ...”

“... That so many have been willing to expend so much labour in a form that has been either anonymous or nearly so is profoundly cheering, for you may be sure that contributing to the ODNB is neither a route to academic star status for oneself nor to a high Research Assessment Exercise ranking for one’s department. Instead, such work requires and ...”

“... the party ‘by feeding and fostering from within the internal fight currently raging’. Anonymous letters and phone calls stoked rumours of sexual infidelity, homosexuality and venereal disease – anything to create a feud. According to Powers, one of the most effective methods was ‘to put a “snitch jacket” on a party member’, by framing ...”

“... affecting is the sense Minnelli gives of Joe and Alice as just one young and fragile couple in an anonymous crowd of similar couples. At one point, they sit next to another couple wearing exactly the same outfits and you realise that Alice’s lace-trimmed dress is a cheap off-the-peg number – no less a uniform than Joe’s military dress. It is rare in a ...”

“... who lounges cross-legged on a bench. What two images better capture the modern city as a place of anonymous, anonymised watching – putting men on display, running them up against one another, making them subject, whether they are conscious of it or not, to the cruising male eye? The pictures’ experimental perspectives combine near and far in one ...”

“... combine with thrusting manifestations of corporate finance to compose a sculpture park in which anonymous drones labour and play. Cesar Pelli’s Canary Wharf tower is ‘a square prism with pyramidal top in the traditional form of the obelisk’. Pelli is Nicholas Hawksmoor reborn, dominating the eastern reaches of London, the rusty, algae-clogged ...”

“... doctors issued hundreds of thousands of death certificates for registered prisoners even after the anonymous mass murder of Jews had begun. Some of these are unreflectively revealing. Early in the war 39-year-old Josef Gaschler from Munich protested when he saw guards in Sachsenhausen punching new arrivals. He was beaten to death. He died, the certificate ...”

“... makes us all ‘unnamed’; responsible, yet nameless and faceless. The faceless unnamed. Not the anonymous clump of one million migrants, but us, verified down to our eyeballs, yet unseeing and unseeable behind the high wall we have built to protect ourselves from the disordered, unauthorised, unregistered others beyond. Is this what the system of systems ...”

“... over the wheels of their trucks, helping to spread the confusion.’ It seems likely that the anonymous author of the history was present at the humiliating defeat he describes. His wild misspellings of nearly every place name in the account (Yvonne Mal Maison for Evin-Malmaison, for instance) suggest a state of battle-weary confusion. The regiment was ...”

“... crawling along, has two grenades dropped on him. He catches fire, but is not dead. Posted by an anonymous Twitter user, it is accompanied by a heavy metal track with the chorus ‘Bang, bang!’Even without the music and the mockery of the dead, these videos are something entirely new for armies and their mass audiences. It is related but does not ...”

“... second season, and AMC was putting pressure on the cast not to speak to the media. The actors, an anonymous source told the Hollywood Reporter, were scared of being written out. ‘They’re on a zombie show,’ the source said. ‘They are all really easy to kill off.’Being fired is a rite of passage in US TV, for writers and executives.
