...when he thinks the police are arresting him without cause? To Newark Bartender Kurt Koonce the answer was obvious: Resist. After all, the cops were claiming that he had sold liquor to a minor-and they had not seen the alleged sale. How could they make the rap stick...
...CIVIL RIGHTS. Since murder is a state crime, what can the Government do when Southern states fail to act in racial murders? Last year it tried to resurrect an 1870 law that makes it a ten-year rap to deprive any person of his federal rights, but two Southern federal judges refused to apply the law in Georgia and Mississippi. The Supreme Court has also agreed to review the new Southern gimmick of giving Negroes "free choice" to attend white schools, while allegedly pressuring them not to. The court has refused for the fourth time to take a case involving...
...Civil Liberties Union urges them to give up entirely by declaring that all published material is protected by the First Amendment unless it creates a "clear and present danger" of antisocial conduct.

The Mounties notified Favreau, who informed Pearson, then ordered a routine investigation by the Mounties. Their report was inconclusive, and there the matter remained until last November, when...
...last week's key decision, the court confronted a conviction that unquestionably violated Mapp's "exclusionary rule." When New Orleans police arrested Burglary Suspect Victor Linkletter, they took his keys, entered his home without a warrant, and seized the evidence that got him a nine-year rap at hard labor. This occurred in 1958-one year after Miss Mapp's offense. But Linkletter's greatest misfortune was that his conviction became final 15 months before the Supreme Court's Mapp decision. Nonetheless, he appealed on the ground that Mapp should void his conviction...
