How do you cite an unknown author?

Unknown Author If the work does not have an author, cite the source by its title in the signal phrase or use the first word or two in the parentheses. Titles of books and reports are italicized; titles of articles, chapters, and web pages are in quotation marks.

Can you cite the same source twice in one paragraph?

No, because each instance of quoted or paraphrased information within a paragraph needs a citation. One citation at the end of a paragraph only notes that the last sentence of the paragraph came from the cited source.
