...Angeles) and Eleanor Tennant (who later trained Alice Marble). And under them he perfected the winning softspin game, not to mention the psyche-out gimmick. Then there is the crooked way he rose to wealth: he married it, in Priscilla Wheelan (the Wheelan family was sole owner of American Photograph Corp. and Riggs was handed one of its executive positions). He settled down in the corporate saddle for several lazy years -- now that's hardly your tycoon's rugged individualism. There is as well the other matter of his marriage: the simple, gentle soul his wife remembers walked...
