Risking further criticism last week, the court amplified its earlier decision by ruling that Miranda should not be interpreted to cover only station-house interrogations. This time, a 6-to-2 majority of the Justices* threw out the murder conviction of a man named Reyes Arias Orozco, who had been questioned not at the station house but in his own bedroom. Writing for the majority, Justice Hugo Black denied that he was broadening the restrictions imposed by Miranda "to the slightest extent." Instead, Black cited a sentence from the earlier decision requiring that a person be warned...
Incriminating Statements. Orozco was accused of shooting down another man after a quarrel outside a Dallas bar back in 1966. He later returned to his boardinghouse and went to sleep. At about 4 a.m., four policemen burst into the room and began to question him. Orozco not only admitted that he had been at the scene of the shooting but also confessed to owning a gun that proved to be the murder weapon. At Orozco's trial, one of the arresting officers was permitted to testify to these incriminating statements...
Chandler, an ardent Black Power advocate, is a man with fire in his belly; but he chooses to channel it into art rather than arson. He says art can be as effective as destruction in bringing about social change, thereby allying himself with such potent practitioners as Orozco, Kollwitz, Grosz, and Shahn...
Heroes & Courtesans. Such turns of fortune are nothing new to Siqueiros, and no one seems less bothered about his politics than his fellow Mexicans. They hail him as the grand old man of the triumvirate (with Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco) that launched the Mexican mural renaissance in the 1920s and 1930s. Throughout Mexico, he is today known as "El Maestro," and no sooner had the ribbon been cut than hundreds of Mexicans, from art students to aging revolutionary veterans,, swarmed through Chapultepec Castle's drafty corridors to get an early view of his handiwork...
...clear that Orozco's fame rests on more than subject matter. Though Orozco turned his back on the tradition of Paris, calling it a city "old, ruined, miserable-an immense brothel, a moldering cadaver," he shows by his extraordinary draftsmanship that he owed as much to his spiritual pilgrimage to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and El Greco's Toledo as he did to the allegiance of his Indian blood. The sketch (17½ in. by 22 in.) for one of the figures in Orozco's mural in the rotunda of the University at Guadalajara is more...
