Huffman [mailto:chuffman@;cumberlandcollege.edu] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 8:24 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences Subject: RE: higamous, hogamus I cannot find anything similar written by Ogden Nash. Nash was born in 1902, and James died in 1910. Seems unlikely that Nash was the author and it is misattributed to James. I shall continue looking--until then: Higamous, hogamous, the author is anonymous (Huffman, 2002). Chuck *********************************** Charles M.
