...every quick complaint, there was a quiet and reasoned reminder that ever since Escobedo, police across the country have been opening their station rooms and doing their best to live up to the high standards of the court's dicta. Denver's Police Chief Harold Dill said that the decision was "nothing earthshaking. We generally follow that pattern anyway." Said Atlanta's Chief of Detectives Clinton Chafin: "We've been operating that way for some time now." Los Angeles' able and crusading Chief William Parker, who has often complained bitterly that the courts are hamstringing...

The reader sympathizes with these brisk Aussie judgments; Arthur is indeed hard to follow as he mumbles about the place goggling at the dreary scenery or polishing that glass marble with the two spirals inside...

At his headquarters on Tampa's Mac-Dill Air Force Base, associates can recall seeing him in civvies only twice: once on a golf course, once in his office on a Sunday morning. He worked his staff on both Christmas and New Year...
