In that case, three years ago, the court reversed the kidnap-rape conviction of a man named Ernesto Miranda, who had not been advised of his constitutional rights before he confessed at a Phoenix police station.

Despite the fresh faces-particularly Williams'-Mod Squad is at best an old-fashioned caper in a contemporary setting...
...mourning, but also temporarily reimposed emergency government powers, including the right to make arrests without a warrant. Outgoing foreign-press dispatches were delayed and censored. The question remained: Who killed the ambassador? A statement attributed to the pro-Castro Rebel Armed Forces (FAR) claimed that they had tried to kidnap Mein in retaliation for the arrest of an FAR terrorist four days earlier.
