Ever since Escobedo, many a confessed and convicted criminal had seen the possibility of retroactivity as a hope of getting his case back into court. And now, with Miranda to remind police that just about any question a suspect answers without a lawyer's advice is improper unless he waives his rights, that hope seemed bright indeed. Writing for a 7 to 2 majority, Warren relocked the prison doors. To reopen past cases, he said, "would seriously disrupt the administration of our criminal laws. It would require the retrial and release of numerous prisoners found guilty by trustworthy evidence...
...commandant of Los Angeles' Black-Foxe Military Institute wanted to remind his cadets to study during Christmas vacation, and he knew just how to contact them: he took an ad in Hot Rod magazine. More than 80% of the student body read the message. Whether they turned back to their schoolbooks is another question. After all, Hot Rod is something of a technical journal; reading it requires quite a bit of a guy's time. And because so many readers are anxious to give it their time, Robert Petersen has cannily capitalized on the pattern of its success...

More than 300 students signed the petition and sent with it a naval artillery shell, World War I vintage, for the President to use as a paper weight. The signers vowed "never, under any circumstances, to follow in the footsteps of the students...
...here." Nonetheless, the Boumedienne government was worried, well aware that Aït Ahmed will probably surface in Paris, join forces there with Mohammed Boudiaf and Mohammed Khider, two other exiled members of Algeria's "Historic Nine" leaders of the liberation battle, and from abroad remind Algerians how little Boumedienne has done to better their dreary lot since he seized power eleven months ago. Additional guards were slapped on the prison headquarters 25 miles southwest of Algiers, where Ben Bella sits in jail. "This one won't get out," barked a prison official-uneasily...
