Speechless Things. At the heart of the debate is a search for the proper limit on police power in a free society-a society that confronts its cops with fast cars, urban slums, organized crime, street violence, anonymous people, and a crime rate rising five times faster than the rate of population growth. To cope with such conditions, the police argue that they must have all reasonable authority to question any citizen. Investigation alone, they say, cannot solve many crimes, such as burglary, murder and mugging, in which the culprits leave no physical traces. "I defy anyone to find...
However it may complicate the solution of some crimes, many experts see Escobedo as a spur to better police training, more computerized law-enforcement procedures, and faster development of scientific crime detection. Moreover, no matter how far the Supreme Court goes, a large number of suspects will always be "gatemouths," compulsive confessors who need no encouragement to announce their guilt. "Human nature saves us," says one California prosecutor. "People talk anyway." In Seattle, for example, police insist that a burglar recently emerged from a skylight to be confronted by two waiting cops with drawn guns. Their first words: "You have...
Last week psychology prompted both exchanges to move toward another long-needed and laudable innovation. No average titillates investors faster than the Dow-Jones Industrial, a composite reading on 30 corporate stocks.

With prodding from President Johnson, the exchanges have finally been persuaded to compile indexes of their own. Where the Dow-Jones was originally limited to a list...
Much of the price pressure comes from farmers themselves, who need bigger farms to make their costly equipment pay. As a result, over the last decade, the price of farm land has climbed 60% faster than farm income, thus confounding the economic axiom that the value of land depends on its profit potential. Farm prosperity-profits reached a 13-year high in 1965, and this year will surpass $15 billion-and the possibility of growing export crops under the Administration's "food for freedom" program also spur expansion...
...Wirtz & Co. In 1956 he returned full time, now shares authority with the Brinckmanns and other partners but the Warburgs own the largest share of the business. (Eric also owns a substantial part of the Wall Street investment-banking firm that he founded, E. M. Warburg & Co.) By making faster decisions than bigger, bureaucratic German banks were able to, Warburg rebuilt a substantial business in international underwriting and financing foreign trade. Today bankers throughout Europe send their bright young men to train at Brinckmann, Wirtz, and members of the firm are directors of two dozen German corporations...
