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.

Biographical Sketch Jack Mulqueen, is best known to Chicagoans as an accomplished figure in local television and entertainment. A native Chicagoan, born in 1933 on the city’s South Side, Mulqueen had a passion for the world of entertainment since his childhood. In his youth, Jack was an avid moviegoer and had a passion for performance. After serving in the army in Colorado during the early 1950s, Mulqueen returned to Chicago and entered the world of children’s entertainment. Inspired by other puppeteers, like Burr Tillstrom, Mulqueen began organizing puppet shows and workshops across the city. It is through these puppet shows that Jack met his creative partner and future wife, Elaine Mulqueen. The couple soon formed a puppet show of their own and began to perform full time around Chicago. After experiencing success in the world of puppetry, the Mulqueens transitioned into the world of local Chicago television. The Mulqueens began their television careers on the popular children’s show Bozo’s Circus as reoccurring guests.
