Point No. 2 —County and city government officials can't do much about it because of limited tax resources, and increasing demands for local government services Point No. 3 —The State can help solve the problem by paying part of the cost of urgently needed salary increases.

BENT THOMPSON BOYER MARC No matter where you live in Florida, there's a new "super" policeman in your community. Although you can't see him, he is constantly riding "shotgun" with Florida's law enforcement officers. He goes about his work so quickly, you may not even know he is on the job. But, give him information, and a little time to get it organized, and you can expect him to assist Florida's law enforcement officers in making life miserable for professional law breakers. W Like FDR, HST and JFK, this big chief is usually referred to by initials only: FCIC. His "super brain" is in Tallahassee, and yet J his "beat" extends across the entire length and breadth of Florida, from Pensacola to the Keys. He has a memory that's out of this world —and a gift of gab to match. He can carry on 10, 20, SUPER POLICEMAN THE NEW LOOK THE SHERIFF'S STAR maybe 200 conversations at one time, listening totally by the state to assist law enforcement attentively and storing up information in his mem- officers in performing their jobs. He is officially ory. Almost simultaneously he can answer multiple known as the Florida Crime Information Center questions about crimes, criminals and criminal (FCIC) and is operated by the Florida Department activity. of Law Enforcement. Give him the name of a person who has We are featuring FCIC in this issue because it committed a major crime in Florida and he can promises to be one of the most revolutionary "zap" back, in seconds, a complete criminal history. developments in crime fighting in modern times. Like the historical "hue and cry" in pursuit of FCIC is a product of many years of discussion, lawbreakers, "Super" Policeman (FCIC) has a voice research and planning. Its roots reach back to as that can be heard throughout the land.

He is paid for all Florida can anticipate reaping the benefits. IN LAW ENFORCEMENT Cl TV FEDERAL COUNTY STATS F LOB IOA BITS, BYTES AND BAUDS GRIME To an old time law enforcement man, a bit is something a horse holds in his mouth; a bite is what you take out of an apple; and INFORMATION a bawd is a shady lady. But times have changed, and with a slight alteration in spelling, these are the terms computer technicians use nowadays when someone asks: "How fast will she go, Joe?" CENTER Baud refers to bits per second, but don't ask us how many bits to a byte. Our notes were garbled at that point. Anyhow, here are some pictures from the land of baud —showing (from left) FCIC key punch operators; the computer room (with a capacity, someone said, of over 330 million bytes); and the "do not disturb" sanctuary of the FCIC programmers. MARCH 1971 CI T V IS SOT "JUS' FECERAL F(; l (', coUNTY STATE AT LEFT—Just one "memory" unit like this will hold 20,000 "bytes" of information, which is equivalent to about 10,000,000 words. SELOW —FCIC staff members have memories too. They can remember, a little sadly, when pretty girls on stepladders maintained the voluminous crime files. Now the files are stored in cold, inanimate computer memory banks. Crime Information Information about criminals is a perishable commodity. It's difficult to obtain, expensive to store, and it soon gets stale. Sometimes when you need it the most, and need it in a hurry, it's not immediately available — like when you have arrested a suspicious looking character on a minor charge and you wonder if he's wanted somewhere else for a serious crime. By the time you find out, he could be "long gone" —and frequently that's how it happens. Sheriffs and police chiefs have wrestled with the problem for centuries. Matt Dillon kept a file of "badmen" in his head. After the West was tamed, Matt got senile, the supply of "badmen" grew by leaps and bounds, and lawmen of lesser mental capacity resorted to stuffing tons of finger- print cards, photographs and criminal histories into miles of filing cabinets. For awhile this worked, but with the coming of the "jet age", criminals became more and more mobile —and filing cabinets became more and more obsolete. It was like trying to store a year's supply of perishable vegetables in an old fashioned kitchen ice box. What law enforcement men needed was a massive "walk-in cooler" that could store millions of items of information in a small space, and spit them out at lightning speed, on command.

    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

    First District Court of Appeal Mourns Passing of the Honorable Anne Cawthon Booth The First District Court of Appeal mourns the loss of former First District Court of Appeal Chief Judge Anne Cawthon Booth, who passed away peacefully at her home in Tallahassee on June 14, 2021, at the age of 87. Judge Booth was appointed to the First District Court of Appeal by Governor Reubin Askew in 1978 and served there until her retirement in 2005. From 1985–1987, she served as Chief Judge. Judge Booth was the first woman to be appointed to an appellate court in Florida, and the first woman to serve as Chief Judge. Judge Booth earned her law degree with high honors from the University of Florida, where she graduated at the top of her class and was inducted into the Order of the Coif. She was the only female student in her class. Following graduation, she clerked for Chief Justice Joseph A. Boyd Jr. and Justice Millard Caldwell of the Florida Supreme Court. She then practiced as a civil litigator with her husband, Edgar Charles Booth, before being appointed to the First District Court of Appeal. “With a brilliant legal mind and indomitable spirit, Judge Booth was a trailblazer for women in law,” said Chief Judge Stephanie Ray. “We honor her commitment to justice and her extraordinary life and legacy.” The Court extends its deepest sympathy and condolences to Judge Booth’s family and friends. For more information on Judge Booth’s remarkable life, view her obituary here. .

  • District III News Special Edition Layout 1
    From the Desk of Commissioner Bobby B. DuBose DISTRICT III NEWS SPECIAL EDITION JUNE 2012 Dear District III, The City of Fort Lauderdale has lost a trailblazing pioneer in the person of Dr. Calvin H. Shirley. This year Dr. Shirley was celebrated as the City of Fort Lauderdale’s Honored Founder and was the special guest at the annual Walk Through History event that commemorated the medical history in the Northwest. Calvin H. Shirley was in a league that many aspire to. He walked tall and humbly yet left a mark that is undeniably etched in the framework and foundation of Fort Lauderdale. Dr. Calvin Hylton Shirley graduated from Booker T. Washington High School at the age of sixteen in Pensacola, Florida and matriculated at Florida A & M Uni- versity in Tallahassee, Florida where he obtained his pre-medical education ma- joring in Biology and a double minor in Chemistry and Education. During these undergraduate years, he played trumpet in the College Marching Band, Sym- phonic, Jazz and Dance Orchestras. This afforded him a full music scholarship which helped to pay his tuition and living expenses. Drafted into the United States Navy after the completion of his college career and during World War II, Dr. Shirley served his country as a Hospital Corpsman in the Asiatic Pacific Theater of War. Following an Honorable Discharge from the Navy, Dr. Shirley enrolled in the Boston College of Physicians & Surgeons in Boston, Massachusetts graduating Summa Cum Laude. He completed his Internship and Residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Boston City Hospital and returned to Florida in 1949 to commence his medical practice.

  • Nixon's Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968
    Dark Quadrant: Organized Crime, Big Business, and the Corruption of American Democracy Online Appendix: Nixon’s Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 By Jonathan Marshall “Though his working life has been passed chiefly on the far shores of the continent, close by the Pacific and the Atlantic, some emotion always brings Richard Nixon back to the Caribbean waters off Key Biscayne and Florida.”—T. H. White, The Making of the President, 19681 Richard Nixon, like millions of other Americans, enjoyed Florida and the nearby islands of Cuba and the Bahamas as refuges where he could leave behind his many cares and inhibitions. But he also returned again and again to the region as an important ongoing source of political and financial support. In the process, the lax ethics of its shadier operators left its mark on his career. This Sunbelt frontier had long attracted more than its share of sleazy businessmen, promoters, and politicians who shared a get-rich-quick spirit. In Florida, hustlers made quick fortunes selling worthless land to gullible northerners and fleecing vacationers at illegal but wide-open gambling joints. Sheriffs and governors protected bookmakers and casino operators in return for campaign contributions and bribes. In nearby island nations, as described in chapter 4, dictators forged alliances with US mobsters to create havens for offshore gambling and to wield political influence in Washington. Nixon’s Caribbean milieu had roots in the mobster-infested Florida of the 1940s. He was introduced to that circle through banker and real estate investor Bebe Rebozo, lawyer Richard Danner, and Rep. George Smathers. Later this chapter will explore some of the diverse connections of this group by following the activities of Danner during the 1968 presidential campaign, as they touched on Nixon’s financial and political ties to Howard Hughes, the South Florida crime organization of Santo Trafficante, and mobbed-up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and Miami.
