...guns, the New Jersey could take over some of the heavily defended targets in North Viet Nam that have proved so costly to airmen. She could harass at will the North's main north-south highway, Route 1, which runs along the coast. And she could provide devastating ground support for Marine operations around the Demilitarized Zone. Though it may cost as much as $25 million and take about a year to modernize the New Jersey, chances are good that the thunder of the battlewagons will be heard once more...
...state lockup, especially when the Federal Government has already got him for 15. So when Texas socked Billie Sol Estes in 1962 with eight extra years for his cunning way with nonexistent fertilizer tanks, Billie took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, won a retrial on the ground that TV cameras in the courtroom had prejudiced the trial. Last week, tanned and trimmer by 50 Ibs. after two years in federal prisons at Leavenworth and Sandstone, Minn., Billie Sol, 42, returned to the dusty courthouse in Tyler, Texas, and found that the state was willing to ease...

Simple as it seemed, Bennie Joe's case raised questions about the Fourth Amendment guarantee against "unreasonable search and seizure." Last year a U.S. appellate court upheld the Hayden search as reasonable "hot pursuit." But the court also voided his conviction on the ground that a federal rule barred his seized clothes as evidence. For under a 1921 Supreme Court decision (Gouled v. U.S.), federal police were allowed to seize only four kinds of evidence: the loot of a crime; the tools by which it was committed; the means of escape, such as weapons; and contraband, such as counterfeit...
