...decisions that have not so much outraged as confused. The Justices, notes Yale Scholar Alexander Bickel, have yet to come up with a workable definition of obscenity. The decisions curbing police abuses have been almost as murky, says Chicago Law Professor Philip Kurland. "After Escobedo," he quips, "you need Miranda, and after Miranda, we will need maybe twelve more decisions...

Specifically, in federal cases the Senators struck down the court's Miranda requirement that arrested suspects be told of their rights to silence and legal counsel.

Because he had not suspected Bruce, he had not warned him of his rights to silence and counsel under the U.S. Supreme Court's Miranda decision. As a result, after one day of a nonjury trial last week, Judge Merle Lansden reluctantly barred the boy's confession and found him not guilty. "Before a confession is to be accepted when a person is in custody or his freedom of action is limited in any significant manner, he must be warned," said the judge. Mention of "the words lie detector" indicated "that...
