...suspect cannot suppress evidence just because a search warrant is not served on him personally. Armed with a valid warrant, Nashville detectives set out to search Joseph M. Calvert's house for some stolen rare coins. Calvert was not at home, so the detectives simply walked in, found some incriminating coins and left a copy of the warrant. Refusing to bar the evidence, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that police did not need to actually present a warrant to the subject of their search. In general, police may forcibly enter a house to execute a valid warrant after announcing...
...Guns of Navarone and H.M.S. Ulysses would have done. They were tightlipped, quietly efficient men who were repelled by heroics, and obviously wanted nothing more than peace and quiet after their hazardous call to duty ended. In this book, however, MacLean has smashed the mold. Secret Agent Philip Calvert, his new hero, must have got his basic training by watching James Bond movies.

There lay Calvert, dead of a 12-gauge-shotgun blast in the chest. Police arrested Smed ley, who, though admitting the raid, pleaded innocent to the murder...
After that, the Bonapartes seem to have disappeared. In all branches of the family, almost all the children came up girls. The last of the American line, a descendant of Fifi and Betsy Patterson named Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, achieved some prominence as a Man of Distinction in the Calvert whisky ads, but he died in 1945 of injuries sustained in Central Park, where he tripped over the leash of his wife's dog. The only male Bonapartes alive today are a 16-year-old boy (Charles Napoleon Bonaparte) and his 52-year-old father (Napoleon Louis Jerome Victor Bonaparte...
