I presented a summary account of the escape attempt in Lafayette, You Are Here, bur blurred some details and left out many others; hopefully, this account will correct that. Justus Erich Bollman was born in the town of Hoya in the Kingdom of Saxony, the son of George Martin Bollman (1740-1799) and the former Amanda Hoppe (1750-1793). Justus was the Bollman’s first child; four brothers, Ludwig, Frederick, Andreas and Wilhelm, would arrive between 1774 and 1782. Further details on the Bollman family are elusive, but we know that they had the means to send their eldest son to school; he studied medicine at the University of Göttingen, and upon completion of his studies, received a position at Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemburg. 19th Century engraving of Justus Erich Bollman (1769-1821).

  • Conservative Progressivism in Immigrant Habeas Court: Why Boumediene V
    CONSERVATIVE PROGRESSIVISM IN IMMIGRANT HABEAS COURT: WHY BOUMEDIENE V. BUSH IS THE BASELINE CONSTITUTIONAL MINIMUM JOSHUA J. SCHROEDER ∞ ABSTRACT This article opens with a presentation of the six baseline holdings of Boumediene v. Bush as an expression of the basic constitutional minimum required under the Suspension Clause for all habeas cases. Then it describes the Circuit split that gave rise to DHS v. Thuraissigiam, which distinguished Boumediene according to the Court’s Conservative Progressive ideology. In Thuraissigiam, this ideology was symbolized by Landon v. Plasencia that favored Mathews v. Eldridge post- racial balancing tests to real justice. Then this article exposes the reasons why Thuraissigiam should be distinguished in all future cases, as Justice Sotomayor contended, according to its highly individualized, narrow set of circumstances. For as Sotomayor wrote in dissent, Thuraissigiam is “nothing short of a self-imposed injury to the Judiciary, to the separation of powers, and to the values embodied in the promise of the Great Writ.” As such, its rationale should not be followed or repeated, as it may soon fall into the same kind of disrepute as cases like Korematsu, Plessy, and Buck v. Bell. In an unrelated matter USAID v. Alliance For Open Society, the Court attempted to rewrite the holdings of Boumediene as the opposite of what they were sub silentio. The Court should not be allowed to apply Boumediene as if it held the opposite of what it actually held. So fundamental is the holding of Boumediene to basic liberty in America that if the Court fails to rediscover the baseline holdings of Boumediene for whatever reason, it is possible the nation could founder.

By Kevin Baxter Times Staff Writer July 1, 2007 MIAMI — Three hours out of the Florida Keys, within wading distance of Cuba's north-central coast, a 28-foot speedboat slowed, its pilot cut the engine, and the sleek hull slid silently to a stop on an ink black sea. Rain squalls had passed, but a trailing band of storm clouds lingered, hiding the moon — perfect cover for the night's illicit mission: smuggling. The unusual contraband loaded aboard that night in 2004 wasn't dope; it wasn't even the typical, ragtag human cargo of desperate asylum seekers. But the value of even a small boatload of the smuggled goods could run into the millions of dollars. On Big Pine Key, a three-hour high-speed cruise across the Florida Straits, Ysbel Santos-Medina waited to take delivery along a stretch of beach about 30 miles north of Key West. The former truck driver and small-time drug trafficker, a mastermind of smuggling logistics, had arranged everything. His last responsibility would be forwarding the goods to California. Medina's contraband on that summer night represented the latest thing in Caribbean region smuggling — five Cuban baseball players.

  • Smithsonian.Com the History and Psychology of Clowns Being Scary
    10/4/2016 The History and Psychology of Clowns Being Scary | Arts & Culture | Smithsonian Smithsonian.com The History and Psychology of Clowns Being Scary You aren’t alone in your fear of makeup­clad entertainers; people have been frightened by clowns for centuries A terrifying clown walks in a Halloween parade in New York City. (© Gonzales Photo / Demotix / Corbis) By Linda Rodriguez McRobbie smithsonian.com July 31, 2013 There’s a word— albeit one not recognized by the Oxford English Dictionary or any psychology manual— for the excessive fear of clowns: Coulrophobia. Not a lot of people actually suffer from a debilitating phobia of clowns; a lot more people, however, just don’t like them. Do a Google search for “I hate clowns” and the first hit is ihateclowns.com, a forum for clown­haters that also offers vanity @ihateclowns.com emails. One “I Hate Clowns” Facebook page has just under 480,000 likes. Some circuses have held workshops to help visitors get over their fear of clowns by letting them watch performers transform into their clown persona. In Sarasota, Florida, in 2006, communal loathing for clowns took a criminal turn when dozens of fiberglass clown statues—part of a public art exhibition called "Clowning Around Town" and a nod to the city’s history as a winter haven for traveling circuses—were defaced, their limbs broken, heads lopped off, spray­painted; two were abducted and we can only guess at their sad fates. Even the people who are supposed to like clowns—children—supposedly don’t. In 2008, a widely reported University of Sheffield, England, survey of 250 children between the ages of four and 16 found that most of the children disliked and even feared images of clowns.

  • The Hugers South Carolina
    The Hugers of South Carolina by T. Tileston Wells, Litt. D. I. Col. Francis Kinloch Huger In 1776 there landed at North Island, near Georgetown, South Carolina, two men who had come from Europe to join the Ameri, can forces, and who were to play important parts in the War of American Independence. One was the Marquis de Lafayette and the other the Baron de Kalb. The pamphlet ''Olmutz'' says that there may have been three, the two mentioned and Baron von Steuben, but I regard that as most unli~ely. Their landing at that point was not intended, but was due to the presence of British cruisers and their fear of capture should they attempt to sail into Charleston harbour, their destination. Landing on North Island they went to the house of Major Benjamin Huger (the uncle of Mrs. John Wells, the second wite of the distinguished lawyer John Wells, III., 1770,1823),* as that was the most important house on that part of the coast. They were hospitably received and enter, tained, and afterwards were taken by Major Huger to Charles, ton, whence they journeyed North to offer their services to Congress. At the time of Lafayette's visit to North Island, Major Huger's son, Francis Kinloch Huger, who was destined to play in after years such an important role in the dramatic life of Lafayette, was only three years old, having been born in Charleston in September, 1773. In 1779 Major Benjamin Huger was killed before the lines of Charleston. Two years later his widow being advised to send her son to England on account of his delicate health, entrusted the boy to a stranger, a young Englishman, returning to his country, who placed the lad then eight years old in a public school, and except for a brief visit to South Carolina, when he was about eighteen years old, he remained abroad till the completion of his education and medical studies, the latter under the distinguished surgeon, Mr.
