Asked about the arrests of underground Christians, Ding contends it is "false" that noncooperation (with the T.S.P.M.) is treated as a crime. Despite that assertion, an arrest warrant posted last year in Henan province lists just that charge against a house-church Christian. The warrant also provides a rare glimpse into the work of a single house-church evangelist. The warrant says the evangelist "deceived" 400 people into converting to Christianity, 100 of them in a single evening, and on another occasion "disturbed the social order" with a rally at a sports field. Such documents show that evangelism...
...articulateness, by immodesty, by fighting the stereotype, the bolder women circumvented their destiny. Actress Nell Gwynn moved up from selling oranges in the stalls to take advantage of the warrant of 1660 that allowed Englishwomen for the first time to play themselves onstage. She then advanced herself further by bearing a child to Charles II. This son of the orange wench was created a duke. A whore's life, Fraser is led to conclude, may be misspent without being necessarily wasted...
...Palo Alto, Calif., and had as competitors teams from such unlikely lands as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Cameroon. Both finalists survived tense overtime tests to reach the championship contest: France beat Yugoslavia 4-2, while Brazil nipped Italy 2-1. Some of the action was almost tough enough to warrant shoulder pads and helmets; in the semifinal, France's Didier Senac fractured his skull in an on-field collision, and two Yugoslavs were ejected for excessive roughness...
...police officers more leeway in determing whether the evidence constitutes just cause for search and seizure and frees him or her from responsibility for bad decisions. The Supreme Court, moreover, has given great latitude to magistrates; judges will no longer be held responsible for their decision to grant a warrant and they will have the authority to interpret "good faith." Those justices who support the narrowing of the exclusionary rule did not understand its two-pronged purpose: it puts a check on both police and judge, making them both responsible for proving there is just cause for search and seizure...
Dissenting Justice Brennan articulated the newly granted immunity of judges when he said. "If their decision to issue a warrant was correct, the evidence will be admitted; if their decision was incorrect but the police relied in good faith on the warrant, the evidence will also be admitted." Such a scenario illustrates the pointlessness of a warrant process without a strict application of the exclusionary rule--it becomes defunct, a meaningless bureaucratic procedure, neither facilitating detailed police work or protecting individuals rights...
