Courts previously had used a "totality-of-the-circum-stances" test to determine whether a confession or incriminating statement had been given to police solved a bitter, 34-year debate over criminal suspects' rights and the Supreme Court ruling many Americans know best.

"Miranda has become embedded in routine police practice to point where the warnings have become part of our national culture," Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist wrote for the court. "Miranda announced a constitutional rule that Congress may not supersede legislatively," he said. "We decline to overrule Miranda ourselves." As a result, police still are required to give the warnings made familiar to generations of Americans by movies and television or else risk getting suspects' confessions ex appointed some law enforcement organizations. President Clinton said he was pleased the police warnings were so "resoundingly" upheld.

Leaders of competing public and private efforts said at a White House ceremony Monday that they have virtually completed assembly of what they called "the book of life" nature's genetic instruction manual for making and maintaining humans.

Knowing the human genetic code, said President Clinton, will give science "an immense new power to heal" by attacking disease "at its genetic roots." With this, said the president, "our children may know cancer only as a constellation of stars" and not as a disease that kills and maims. Clinton also cautioned that the genetic map must never be used to segregate, discriminate or invade the privacy of human beings. Legislation is circulating in Congress that offers such protection.

Page 6B By Dale Perry and Ed McGranahan Staff Writers City and county officials have made a pitch to developers to come up with a plan for a downtown baseball stadium on Greenville's Westside, a project they hope will spur re-vitalization in the community. Members of the Development Association of Greater Greenville, a board appointed by the Greenville mayor and County Council chairman, are seeking proposals for the financing, design and construction of a baseball stadium in the Reedy River Corridor. "We really don't know at this point what might work in the Reedy River Corridor," said Tami McKnew, chairwoman of DAGG.

"We may get information back saying nothing will go there, but I don't think that will happen." Officials expect to know by early August if there is sufficient interest in building a stadium to replace the 17-year-old Municipal Stadium on Mauldin Road that is home to the Greenville Braves. McKnew said DAGG would rely on city, county and private financial support for a baseball stadium, but she said she doesn't know how much it would cost to construct.

By Jason Zacher Education Writer jzachergreenvillenews.com After months of fighting with state legislators over more money for teachers, Greenville County school trustees found out Monday that they will have $3.3 million more than they had expected. Teachers will get raises all. fThey'U see an extra 1.5 percent in their paychecks out of school district money, above the 4 percent they were already in line to get the state. Combine that ife3th annual raises based on years of service and the average teacher in Greenville County will see an 8 percent raise.

"The district is in better financial shape than in the last couple of years," said retiring Superintendent Rudolph Gordon. Still, the board went ahead with its plans to raise taxes by 4 mills, unanimously approving a $285.4 million budget that will require 103.1 mills to fund. The hike will add about $16 to the tax bill of the owner of a $100,000 home and bring the total tax bill to $412.40. The additional $3.3 million comes from a combination of factors. Among them: The state last year overestimated the number of students who would attend school this year.

Based on a formula that determines funding per pupil, that gave the if friistrict an additional Higher interest rates on the district's investments generated $600,000 more than officials had expected. The state funded $414,000 for middle school nurses, which the district had been paying for. A decision by the state to pass on some health insurance increases to employees netted the district $400,000. It's the first increase in premiums for state employees since 1991.

Human genome posals we're seeking," she said. The request for proposals anticipates awarding a contract Jan. 3. Firms have until Aug. 7 to submit proposals for a baseball stadium with a seating capacity similar to Municipal Stadium's 7,028.

But firms aren't limited to that number and DAGG is seeking "truly "innovative ideas" that could include luxury boxes. Steve DeSalvo, general manager of the Greenville Braves, said he talked with city officials about naming rights and suites to generate revenue at Municipal Stadium, but any improvements were placed on the back burner when talk of a new stadium surfaced. "We've told them all, 'Hey, that's great. We're intrigued by but I think there needs to be more study," DeSalvo said. "But, we've never said, 'If you build it, we're DeSalvo said such issues as the lease, parking, a multi-use facility and sharing space would have to be worked out.

"All we've said is that we've got to have improvements to make this franchise work for us long term."
