Mash & Mutuality. Saving a federal defender's time and effort, DePaul Law Students Jay Shapiro and Larry Gabriel recently tackled the case of a Puerto Rican moonshiner. Without a warrant, federal agents had invaded his apartment, found 500 Ibs. of fermenting mash, and then nabbed him outside in a car crammed with sugar. After plumbing assorted precedents, the students informed the defender that the agents indeed had "probable cause" for the warrantless invasion: the mash smell was detected by their own trained noses. Such experiences have persuaded Gabriel to become a prosecutor, Shapiro a criminal lawyer...
...annual turnover is 82%). At any rate, there was not a cop in sight last week when a Capitol janitor stabbed and robbed Republican James C. Cleveland of New Hampshire late at night in his office.

The paper's 50-man, largely Puerto Rican editorial staff spends half its time listening to readers' complaints of mistreatment. A converted city bus owned by the paper roams Puerto Rican neighborhoods soliciting other tales of trouble. Puerto Ricans who are accused of a crime often surrender to the paper simply because they are afraid of going to the police. "Saying you're from El Diario is like flashing a badge," says Editor Sergio Santelices...
...Stanley Ross, 52, a controversial Latin American hand who put out El Diario from 1955 until 1963 when he broke with Chalk, El Tiempo carries more news about Latin America than El Diario and less about New York. It is aimed at New York's non-Puerto Rican Latin Americans-Cubans, Dominicans, Colombians-who are currently streaming into the city, while the Puerto Rican migration has slowed to a bare trickle. El Tiempo also makes a point of hiring celebrities. Enrique Negron, the Bronx grocer who saved a policeman from a howling...
