This amounts to "investigative arrest" -already widespread in many states. But knowledgeable lawyers say the practice may flunk a Supreme Court test. As a compromise, New York's new "stop and frisk" law imitates the Uniform Arrest Act-except that suspects may not be detained if the frisk or questioning fails to yield probable cause for actual arrest...
Before the stop and frisk law was passed, a thief could sometimes beat arrest in New York even if a cop caught him carrying concealed loot-unless the cop reasonably believed beforehand that a theft had been committed. But even the new New York law is not necessarily constitutional. If detention really means arrest, then it must meet the standards of probable cause. And recent Supreme Court decisions indicate that state courts must exclude evidence seized during searches accompanying arrests made without probable cause.

Even those with a bit more substance to them, like Bien Jolie's flowered-net version ($11) and Warner's "The Body" ($12.50), are sheer enough to read through, small print included.

Aware that Justice viewed the merger as a violation of the antitrust laws, the banks speeded up their negotiations, legally joined to form the nation's fourth largest bank half an hour before the trustbusters filed suit to stop the action. Faced with a fait accompli, a federal judge refused to consider the Justice Department's bid for a restraining order. Furious over the maneuver, particularly since the two banks had not discussed their plans with it, Justice immediately filed another suit...
...meets the challenge in a climactic staircase scene, a horrendous ham classic. Sobbing, she crawls to the top of the steps, sees something, freezes like a psychotic spaniel, then goes howling down backward and sideways, all matted curls, eyeballs and quivering flesh. By the time she rumbles to a stop, audiences may justly wonder which apparition is scarier-Bette at the bottom or that Thing up top with the muddy feet...
