Still they come. In August alone, 259 Cubans made it across to the U.S. Two weeks ago the U.S. Coast Guard came upon two boats jammed with 67 refugees, including the chauffeur of Fidel's brother Ramon (an obscure bureaucrat in the Department of Sugar Transport) and Orlando Contreras, once one of Cuba's most popular singers, now declared "decadent." Said Contreras: "They wouldn't let me sing what I wanted to, and they wouldn't let me make a tour inside the country, and finally they put a 70% tax on my wages to make...

...order in favor of abstract constitutional principles. Law-enforcement officers are almost unanimous in deploring a series of decisions that seem to them to be aimed at "coddling criminals" and "handcuffing the police." The court's rulings outlawing accepted methods of arrest and interrogation, protests Chicago Police Superintendent Orlando W. Wilson, are simply "devices for excluding the truth from criminal trials."
