I quit.Quitters never prosper. Don't go away mad, milum...but if you must, let me tell you first that TEd already solved #13, and you included it in your survey of both the solved and unsolved. A throwback to your Atlantean roots?  Try and try again...see ya tomorrow...

Great helps is "telegraphs" (doesn't need the "s" at all, actually)
no more stars is "astronomers"
real fun is "funeral"
(those last two could be called "antigrams," as the re-arrangement means the opposite of the presentation)

I'm stuck on #20!
I get "Phantom's Ire"
and also "Hone Armpits"
...and I know neither is right, but maybe those scrambles will send somebody in the right direction. The clue is: "Spare Him Not."

Juan,
Didn't Wolfaholic get 5 and 21 in his 5, 11, and 21 post? His answers for 5 and 21 sure seemed to be on the money to me...

P.S. It is time to go to bed. These things are horribly addictive!

#18. Veto. Un corse la finira
Rearrangingly becomes...
#81. Love 'tis no unfair race.( Last time Whitman you accused me of leaving letters out so this time, at great expense, I color-coded the letters to be sure. Actually this version is better...On love: is an unfair race. but that would leave a "T" out and we don't want to leave a "T" out, now do we Whitman? )_____

I call many sot, you see. I am a health food nut. I eat soy crisps for breakfast, soy leaf salad for lunch, and tofu for supper. I am obsessed about soy. And I am very worried about people who drink anything other than soy sauce with meals. I do call many "sot" because I eat what they eat not. Therefore I am a:
"Soy Claimant."
You see, Juan? I am in misery. I sit here with my stupid combinations and try to talk myself into submitting them as possible answers--and I should have been in bed an hour ago because it's a school night.
Thanks a lot!
From a Word Sot.

I think that's as much a good anagram for the clue as some of the others up there. I agree, WW...but "coagulates" isn't the answer here...(hint: my comment was a clue ).

This is groping around for straws, and I'm not even certain it's a word --monastically????
monastic ally???
If this isn't it, I won';t be surprised, but I also won't do another lick of work on it. Makes my brain HURT!

dissemination
This was really tough. I kept trying to see admission or mission which are both logical from the clue words. I finally just used the old way of starting with the head of the alphabet and doing it by elimination. UGH!

If I use my full name of Alexander, I can create some anagrams, such as Animal lair, lewd sex and Waxen Dr: ill? malaise?, and if I use all three of my names I can arrive at Alias Dr. Nina Bier Maxwell

Again, I don't know if this is the right answer, but "Veto. Un corse la finira." anagrams to "Urania's reflection". The hint about mirror mirror on the wall gave me reflection(s) and Urania is the only word I can get from the remaining letters.

Pedagogues (right-o, TED...you solved this Friday, just forgot to strike the number...) 18. Veto. Un corse la finira. (time to offer some more straightforward hints on some of these...I thought I was going to have to say "historical figures" for the two you just solved, TEd! Good going. Also apply that to #9. "Mirror, Mirror" was just a joking repartée to milum's post...sorry, TEd...here's the hint for #18...historical milestone in another language) yay! to all of the following! 7. Horatio Nelson 30. Monastically 34. Arthur Wellesley 35. Dissemination (Hard to believe this book was designed for young grammar school kids in it's day...there was also a "Girl's Own Book"...are we becoming less literate?) Numbers remaining unsolved: 6,9,12,18,19,22
