Dissenting Justice Brennan articulated the newly granted immunity of judges when he said. "If their decision to issue a warrant was correct, the evidence will be admitted; if their decision was incorrect but the police relied in good faith on the warrant, the evidence will also be admitted." Such a scenario illustrates the pointlessness of a warrant process without a strict application of the exclusionary rule--it becomes defunct, a meaningless bureaucratic procedure, neither facilitating detailed police work or protecting individuals rights...
Jackson met with Mondale in Kansas City, where both had gone to address the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and at a press conference afterward the two leaders were no more than stiffly correct. Jackson sounded ambiguously conciliatory. He spoke both of "matters yet unresolved" and of "a time to cooperate." He pledged "a lively convention" but added, "Every debate does not mean division."

The two towering figures were nude and, in the current phrase, anatomically correct (if that term applies to bodies that have no heads or feet). Two real Olympic athletes posed for the statues. Their torsos will now be well and fully known to those who pass under the arch on their way to the Games, but their names have been discreetly withheld...
