Bunn's Boy-Angelo Henry ("Hank") Luisetti, son of a restaurant chef, is the No. 1 product of this extraordinary coaching regime. He is considered so superior to all other basketball players this year that he is one of the few basketball subjects over which there is no controversy. Born & bred on that little strip of San Francisco waterfront that produced Base-bailers Joe Di Maggio, Frank Crosetti and Tony Lazzeri, Basketballer Luisetti is rated one of the best-of-all-time in basketball. A clever passer, spectacular dribbler, amazingly accurate marksman (with either hand or both...
...produce the closest practical approximation of the "best speller in the U. S." Representative Lyle Boren of Oklahoma was standing with the judges. Morose, georgette, cited, ingenuity, questionnaire, accessible, meringue, gudgeon, insoluble, parliamentary, aphorism, olfactory and lineaments cleared the stage of all but three.

In all its 66 years no one had ever been convicted under that statute. Chiefly on the evidence of communist pamphlets found in his possession, a Georgia jury found...
Overnight, obscure Angelo Herndon became a front-page communist hero, his freedom a prime Red Cause. Released on $7,000 bail provided by the International Labor Defense, he marched up & down the land addressing Red rallies while I. L. D. lawyers fought his case through the courts. Twice Georgia's Supreme Court affirmed his sentence. The U. S. Supreme Court once sent the case back to Georgia because of improper presentation, then took jurisdiction...
This week Mr. Justice Roberts became something of a communist hero too when, siding again with the Court's liberal wing in another 5-to-4 decision for social justice, he read an opinion setting aside Angelo Herndon's conviction. Finding no evidence that the young Negro had attempted to incite an insurrection, he declared Georgia's application of its musty law a flat violation of the "guarantees of liberty embodied in the 14th Amendment...
