...always assumed he had in mind were those provided by the court's 1966 landmark ruling in Miranda vs. Arizona. That decision requires police, before they question someone they have arrested, to inform him of a brief list of rights, including his freedom to remain silent and to consult a lawyer. Indeed, since Burger became Chief Justice in 1969, his court has consistently-and sometimes ingeniously-avoided squarely applying the Miranda precedent. In two unanimous rulings last week, however, the court not only relied on but actually expanded the famous doctrine...
There were two problems, Burger concluded in his opinion. First, no one warned the defendant that whatever he told Grigson during their 90-minute talk could be used to sentence him to death. Second, he was not allowed to consult his lawyer beforehand. Said Burger: "Just as the Fifth Amendment prevents a criminal defendant from being made 'the deluded instrument of his own conviction,' it protects him as well from being made the 'deluded instrument' of his own execution."

As the President later put it to Suzuki: "The best way to handle difficulties is to pick up the phone." The two leaders apparently managed to establish a warm, personal rapport. Said Suzuki at the White House dinner: "We were born in the same year and are both proud of being a youthful 70," though the President...
...Pope Paul V order all the dispersed collections of church papers to be gathered into one central archive. Said he, in a decree written in 1612: "We order you, custodian of our archives, under pain of our displeasure ... to allow no one whatever, on any excuse, to consult these books." Hardly had the papers been assembled when Napoleon seized the whole collection and carted it off to Paris. It was restored to Rome after the Congress of Vienna...
