- Trace the History of the Hornbook
A few weeks ago, I wrote about early school days and my experiences in a one-room school. Several readers told me about their school days, too. For most of us, our first real memories center around school. A couple of readers asked me about my mention of a hornbook. It was new to them, and we're all too young to have had one.

When Deshong appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court on November 22, 2004, history was about to repeat itself. My client, Willie Bosket, had been viciously beaten by court officers on July 11, 1984 and I was arrested, with a flashback to Philadelphia, MS in 1964, which prompted Deputy Police Commissioner Billie Holliday to personally intervene in a face-off, with guns on orange alert, between court officers and Holliday's NYDP.
