With that dry and cautious comment, Chief Justice Earl Warren gave fair warning that the decision he was about to hand down for an angrily divided Su preme Court was sure to echo through law-enforcement agencies across the land. For the court was reversing the' convictions of four confessed crimi nals: Kidnaper-Rapist Ernesto Miranda, Mugger Roy Stewart, Stickup Man Mi chael Vignera and Bank Robber Carl Westover.

Drug after touted drug and a succession of surgical procedures have been tried, only to be found of limited value, or to be discarded entirely. But hope was rekindled when Columbia University's Dr. William Amols told the American Neurological Association that a new drug, carbamazepine-not yet generally available in the U.S.-has given relief to 75% of patients for as long as two years...

Of course, no Indians or Eskimos were represented...
...does not speak Chinese and he is averse to bureaucratic interpreters; so Koningsberger had to rely heavily on his literary intuition and imagination. He had never visited pre-Communist China and did not go to Taiwan, but he is sure that China under Chiang Kai-shek was an abominable place where, as he says, millions continually starved or drowned. The "love and hate" of his title deal less with the people of Red China than with his own divinations...
