Right to Remain Silent Didn’t Apply to Printing —Michelson

HOLLYWOOD MOVIES and television shows have made the Miranda warning—legal rights that are dutifully recited by police officers to suspects during real-life arrests—famous the world over. That infamous piece of Americana ("You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court 
of law..."), surprisingly enough, was actually written and popularized by Harold Berliner, a former district attorney and internationally known printer, who died April 26 in Nevada City, CA, at the age of 86.
