Stuck on the last two.

1 D/n (8) As unrest spreads, time for US Congress to be suspended . AN?S?R?ES

9 D/n (4) Degree for fellow in force? It's easily accomplished.

Any help would be much apprecited, thank you.

1d Anestrus

9d Doss....FOSS =force...substitute D (degree for F (fellow)

1: You say 8 letters but list 9. which is it?

[kayakamina]

I should have added that Anestrus is an anagram of

As Unrest +T (time)

[Christiana]

HI K. Didn't see your post and was wondering if it was Anestrus.

[Christiana]

Hi yet again. One of the reasons I hesitated is that it is isn't plus T for time because there is already a T in 'unrest'

[kayakamina]

You're right Jackie, back to the drawing board!

[pbeach]

kayakamina I think you are right.... the clue is 8 letters, and your answer fits better than anything else I can think of....
