The GJam story is to determine the rightful leader.  The leader is the person whose name utilizes the most unique letters, spaces do not count, and if two or more people are tied then the leader is the one whom comes first alphabetically, with space preceding A, given a list of 100 or fewer names.

*Input:* [names], a cell array of names using only A thru Z; max 100 names

*Output:* [Leader], a string of the name of the leader

*Examples:* [names] [Leader]; {'ADAM' 'BOB' JOHNSON'} ['JOHNSON']

For the example the first two have three and two unique letters while JOHNSON has five unique letters 'JOHNS'.

*Theory:* Brute force processing appears to be the way. Methodical processing and function usage can minimize code size. <http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/6304486/scoreboard#vf=1 GJam Kickstart solutions(C++,Python)>.
