Perhaps Richard B. Ruge feels that he is qualified to suggest that Norman Shepard, Harvard's varsity baseball coach, is "strictly bush league;" and apparently he even believes that can refer to the varsity baseball team as a bush-league outfit.

...supporting actors out of his own radiance, and left the show entirely to him. For it is clearly Falstaff's huge effrontery, his assurance that his weight and wit make him the incandescent center of his cronies which keeps Peto (Tony Corbett), Bardolph (John Anderson), and Mistress Quickly (Raye Bush) steadily alive.

The monkey seems, like Ned Kelly, to be a creature who has come out of the bush." In Explorer, Rocky Landscape, the protagonist looks as if he were attached, centaurlike, to his camel, as if the two were "united for survival." A century ago, explorers and traders introduced camels to Australia, and a few wild ones can still be seen, bringing to the continent "an archaic. Biblical...
