THEME: words and phrases for which the number 42 is significant --- a most creative idea
GOOD ONES:
Douglas Adam's… FORTY-TWO
They have strings attached APRONS
Degree of interest? PER CENT
Checkered start? CEE
Mysterious character RUNE
King who died at (42) ELVIS PRESLEY [well I guess that as close as we in the US get to royalty]
Sun. delivery SER
BTW:
Scholar SAVANT [Sadly one may be a scholar but not a savant.]
Jazz title COUNT [that's Basie, but it's not his title but his name]
Part of an ano ENERO [not used in our language, and why is "part of an" in English?]
Honorarium FEE [I think of it not as a fee but as an award. I never charged a fee to speak but was given an honrorium. But from the institutions point of view it may be a fee.]
RATING: ;D ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

Part of an ano = ENERO. Beside not being English. It's not a good clue. Enero means January, not month. A better clue might have been: Beginning of an ano.
I thought cheaters to teachers was a good one.

Got me again! I had the ANAGRAM clue circled as a good one but forgot to include it. :-[
