Shortly after a Chicago restaurant was burglarized one night last week, Policeman Richard Kereta spotted a man running down the street. Kereta collared the suspect when he stopped to urinate under a porch. "I didn't do nothin' and I ain't answering questions," said Danny Escobedo, 28, as he was taken to the police station and plunked into a cell. Escobedo (TIME cover, April 29) well knew his rights: they were first limned in the Supreme Court decision that voided his murder admission in 1964 (Escobedo v.

Then, the twenty-first time, zap, zap, zap, you get hit-and Victor Charlie fades into the jungle before you can close with him." Frustrating as it was for the men slogging through the mud and rain, Ben Cat was a job that...
There will be other places that will try, as Amite School Board Chairman Colville Jackson puts it, to "just do nothin'." But integration is moving at a stepped-up pace. Late this month, Commissioner Keppel expects to have a head count on just how many Negroes are in previously all-white Southern classrooms this year. He optimistically predicts that the number will be ten times that of last year-in all, perhaps as much as a fourth of the South's Negro schoolchildren...
