...this year has been Communist Earl Browder. In this he was conspicuously aided by unknown persons of Tampa, Fla., who locked him out of the hall where he was to speak, and by the police of Terre Haute, Ind., who locked him up as a vagrant (TIME, Oct. 12).

Another tale deals with Quentin Compson, a Harvard freshman born and raised in Jefferson, who. in 1910, tried to figure out what had lain behind the Sutpen tragedy.
