Huey Long
... that Chief Justice William Howard Taft called Huey Long, later a Governor and Senator from Louisiana, "the most brilliant lawyer who ever practiced before the United States Supreme Court?"(Long (1933), p. 235.)- ALT1:
... that President Franklin D. Roosevelt regarded Senator Huey Long as "one of the two most dangerous men in America?"[1]

Great GA (wonder why you don't say so) on excellent sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and illustrates both hooks well. I prefer ALT1, with Roosevelt better known than Taft, and "dangerous" more curiosity-raising. In the original, I'd say "of" Louisiana (vs. "from"), and in the ALT, I'd add this bit ("of Louisiana). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:13, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks! I like ALT1 more as well. Here's a modified version:
