...Dorado. The heavyweight crown in boxing may be up for grabs, but in the movies it is still firmly planted on the balding head of John Wayne. In El Dorado, though his lope may be a bit arthritic, the Duke still greets the opposition on a fist-come, fist-served basis, and the wrongo who tries to outdraw him still winds up feeling kind of shot...
Bamboo & Bromelia. Currently, Roberto is busy landscaping grounds for the Dorado Hilton in Puerto Rico, but he is happiest in the gardens of his mountain country estate 30 miles east of Rio.

...police are prepared to charge him. In 1964 the Supreme Court followed that path in Escobedo v. Illinois, the case that police now fear will eliminate all confessions. Indeed, California's Justice Mathew Tobriner amplified Escobedo last January by holding for the court in People v. Dorado that police failure to advise a suspect of his rights to counsel and to silence voids his confession, even though he may not have asked for a lawyer. Last spring the Supreme Court let Dorado stand by refusing to review it. Meanwhile, in two other cases, the California court has ruled against...
