...believe that the Supreme Court's Miranda decision would not require the warnings in Kennedy's case. Hall points to a passage in the decision that reads: "There is no requirement that police stop a person who enters a police station and states that he wishes to confess a crime."

"McCarthy could not, if life depended on it, act out his compassion for the poor," says Sheed. "Politically, this subject demands a certain amount of Mammy-singing. You can denounce the war calmly, and the emotion will take care of itself. But when you come to poverty, you must perform.
