Furthermore, she indicated that multiple copies of the collection had been made and the intent was to send those copies to different academic institutions so as to assure the survival of the collection.

Shortly after Dr. Damián Fernández, Dr. Pérez's successor as CRI Director, left FIU in 2008 and the CRI was left without a Director, Dr. Pérez arranged for the boxes to be transferred to the control of Special Collections in the Green Library, where they were received by Director Althea V.

The suit stemmed from an article that ran in the October 3, 1994 edition of the New Republic written by Anne Louise Bardach (pp. 20-25).","On November 18, 1994, Mr. Mas Canosa filed suit in Dade Circuit Court in Miami, naming the New Republic and Bardach as defendants and alleging he was repeatedly libeled in the October 3 article (The Miami Herald, November 19, 1994, p. 1-B). ","The Miami Herald reported nearly two years later, in its issue of September 17, 1996 (p. 1B) that Jorge Mas Canosa and The New Republic magazine had announced a settlement in their libel case:","Under the terms, The New Republic apologized to Mas for calling him a \"mobster\" on the cover and in a headline of its Oct. 3, 1994 issue. The magazine, a Washington, D.C.-based journal of political opinion, also agreed to pay $100,000 to establish a scholarship fund in journalism and political science through the Cuban American National Foundation.  The magazine is also running a correction and a strongly worded apology in an upcoming issue.   ","In its issue of October 14, 1996 (p. 8), the editors of the New Republic published the following text in its \"Notebook\" section:    \nCORRECTION: On October 3, 1994, The New Republic published a two-part cover story dealing with Cuba. The second of those articles appeared under the cover page title of \"Clinton's Miami Mobster\" and was about Cuban exile leader Jorge Mas Canosa. The use of the word \"mobster\" was the sole responsibility of The New Republic and not the author. The New Republic did not intend to imply that Mr. Mas has been involved in any criminal activity. The New Republic did not intend to accuse Mr. Mas of being in any way connected to, or engaged in, criminal activity of any kind, nor was its use of the word based on any evidence of criminal activity on Mr. Mas' part. Nothing in the article by Ann Louise Bardach stated or should be interpreted as stating or suggesting that Mr. Mas was involved in criminal activity. The New Republic regrets any injury or embarrassment that may have been caused to Mr. Mas or his family.\nAlthough we regret our wording of the title, which was chosen without the participation of the author, Ann Louise Bardach, The New Republic stands fully behind the article itself. Nothing in the thought-provoking article, which addresses America's Cuba policy and the political influence of elements of the Cuban exile community in Miami, requires clarification, correction or apology as nothing in it has been proven false or libelous. Ms. Bardach, who is a Contributing Editor of Vanity Fair and winner of the 1995 PEN West Award for Journalism, will be dismissed from the libel lawsuit independent of The New Republic's settlement.","Copyright is held by Florida International University","FIU Special Collections","The New Republic (Magazine : New York, N.Y.)","Cuban American National Foundation (U.S.)","Mas Canosa, Jorge","English"],"unitid_tesim":["SPC5090","/repositories/2/resources/40"],"normalized_date_ssm":["1979-1996, Date acquired: 00/00/2009"],"normalized_title_ssm":["The New Republic/Jorge Mas Canosa Collection, 1979-1996, Date acquired: 00/00/2009"],"collection_title_tesim":["The New Republic/Jorge Mas Canosa Collection, 1979-1996, Date acquired: 00/00/2009"],"collection_ssim":["The New Republic/Jorge Mas Canosa Collection, 1979-1996, Date acquired: 00/00/2009"],"repository_ssm":["FIU Special Collections"],"repository_ssim":["FIU Special Collections"],"creator_ssm":["The New Republic (Magazine : New York, N.Y.)"],"creator_ssim":["The New Republic (Magazine : New York, N.Y.)"],"creator_corpname_ssim":["The New Republic (Magazine : New York, N.Y.)"],"creators_ssim":["The New Republic (Magazine : New York, N.Y.)"],"access_terms_ssm":["Copyright is held by Florida International University"],"acqinfo_ssim":["Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University","Donation"],"access_subjects_ssim":["Video (VHS) [VH]","Newspaper"],"access_subjects_ssm":["Video (VHS) [VH]","Newspaper"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"extent_ssm":["8.00 boxes"],"extent_tesim":["8.00 boxes"],"genreform_ssim":["Video (VHS) [VH]","Newspaper"],"date_range_isim":[1979,1980,1981,1982,1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,1988,1989,1990,1991,1992,1993,1994,1995,1996],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThere are no restrictions on this Collection\u003c/p\u003e"],"accessrestrict_heading_ssm":["Conditions Governing Access"],"accessrestrict_tesim":["There are no restrictions on this Collection"],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eAnne Louise Bardach contacted Lisandro P\u0026#xE9;rez, then Director of the Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University to inquire if the CRI or the FIU Library would be interested in receiving the materials that the New Republic's legal firm had collected on Mr. Mas Canosa in preparation for the magazine's defense.

With his boat filled with goodies from the tropics, Columbus sailed the ocean again and managed to bump into his homeland, Spain.

She placed a call for members of her Round Robin which brought an immediate response from Miss Victoria Padilla and Mrs. Sue Hutchinson who were soon followed by seven others, and they in turn brought four more. This group formed a Round Robin, exchanging their experiences with bromeliads by correspondence with one another for approximately two years.

Each took advantage of what the other had to offer. Bromeliad history tells us that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and bumped into a new world. With his boat filled with goodies from the tropics, Columbus sailed the ocean again and managed to bump into his homeland, Spain. His Queen sent him back to the new world, and on his return trip he took a vicious looking plant with long, spiny leaves and a luscious sweet fruit growing from the center of the leaves. Christopher brought his Queen a pineapple. The first bromeliad to leave the new world.","Other adventures and explorers followed and returned to their homeland with wonders never seen before. Some of the wonders were tropical plants and many of them became known as bromeliads. Thus, the Bromeliacea family was described; and slowly over the years, its popularity invaded the United States. Bromeliad Society began in 1948 when Mr. Joseph Schneider of San Gabrial, California asked the organizer of Round Robins for the Flower Grower if she could get a group together who were interested in bromeliads. She placed a call for members of her Round Robin which brought an immediate response from Miss Victoria Padilla and Mrs. Sue Hutchinson who were soon followed by seven others, and they in turn brought four more. This group formed a Round Robin, exchanging their experiences with bromeliads by correspondence with one another for approximately two years. In the spring of 1950, a call was sent out to all members of the Round Robin, and others interested in bromeliads to attend a pot luck dinner at the home of Mrs. Doroth Behrends in Los Angeles, California on May 21st to discuss the suggestion made by Mr. Schneider that a Bromeliad Society be organized. There were fourteen enthusiastic bromeliad people in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Victoria Padilla. It was decided to hold an organizational meeting the following September.","The September 17, 1950 meeting was held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Overton in Glendale, California. Twenty one prospective members attended, with a surprise guest, Mr. Mulford Foster of Orlando, Florida. This group organized not just a local society, but an international society for the benefit of bromeliad enthusiasts all over the world. The first officers elected were: President, Mulford Foster; First Vice President, David Barry, Jr.; Second Vice President, Russell J. Seibert; Secretary, Victoria Padilla, and Treasurer, Frank H. Overton. In addition to the officers, Lyman B. Smith, H. B. Trau, Elmer J. Lorenz and Morris Schick were asked to serve on the Board of Directors. A Board of Honorary Trustees was elected, all of them from different countries.","This meeting was a fire of enthusiasm. In a very short time, the membership grew from less than thirty local Californians to an international group of nearly 100 charter members, representing the following countries; Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, France, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States. First year was used to establish By-laws, goals, to build a membership and a treasury. The first Life Member of this new Society was Franklin M. DeVoe of Gulf Hammock, Florida. In January 1951, less than a year later, President Mulford Foster because editor of the The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, a bi-monthly publication to be sent to all members. Annual dues for membership remained $3.50 until March-April 1963 when the dues were increased to $4.00.","In November 1951, a local group organized The Southern California Bromeliad Society and became the first Affiliate of The Bromeliad Society. Early in 1953, The Bromeliad Society announced that it had been duly incorporated under the laws of the State of California as a non-profit organization. The March-April 1954 issue of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin announced that The Louisiana Bromeliad Society had applied for affiliation with The Bromeliad Society. December 1955 Bulletin, acknowledged the third affiliate, The Florida West Coast Bromeliad Society, and in the May-June 1959 Bulletin, The South Florida Bromeliad Society was established with Nat DeLeon President.","In the ten year period, The Bromeliad Society had grown to a membership of over 400, 100 of which were members living in countries other than the United States. In the United States, three states led in membership and activity: Florida (90 members), California (80 members) and Louisiana (30 members). There were four Affiliates, 2 in Florida, one in California, and one in Louisiana.","In the ensuing years The Bromeliad Society followed the rugged path of progress. Victoria Padilla became Editor of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, and color pictures were introduced in 1960. In 1964, all cover pictures of the Bulletin were presented in color. In 1971, The Bromeliad Society Bulletin was given a new name, Journal of the Bromeliad Society. Victoria Padilla continued as Editor. In 1970, plans were made for a 20th Birthday celebration to be held in Southern California and hosted by the five Affiliates in the Los Angeles area. It was to feature an \"all bromeliad show\". This celebration led to future Bromeliad World Conferences. The Bromeliad Society has sponsored and funded many exceptional improvements to the future of bromeliads, and strives to ever improve the knowledge and appreciation of bromeliads for its members and the general public.","List of past Bromeliad World Conferences:","\n1972 Houston, Texas - First acknowledged Bromeliad Conference","\n1975 25th Anniversary Celebration, Buena Park, California","\n1977 New Orleans, Louisiana","\n1980 Orlando, Florida - 30th Birthday celebration","\n1982 Corpus Christi, Texas - \"Bromeliaceae Ole\"","\n1984 Los Angeles, California - \"Bromelympics\"","\n1986 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"One Mo' Time\"","\n1988 Miami, Florida - \"Miami Magic\"","\n1990 Houston, Texas - Bromeliads in Space\"","\n1992 Tampa, Florida - \"Bromeliad Safari\"","\n1994 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n1996 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '96\"","\n1998 Houston, Texas - \"Bromeliad Roundup\"","\n2000 San Francisco, California - \"50th Birthday Celebration\"","\n2002 St. Petersburg, Florida - \"Bromeliad Beach Party\"","\n2004 Chicago, Illinois","\n2006 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads on the Border\"","\n2008 Cairns, Australia - \"Bromeliads Down Under\"","\n2010 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"Bromeliads in the Big Easy\"","2012 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '12\"","\n2014 Honolulu, Hawaii - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n2018 San Diego, California - \"Fiesta de las Bromelias\""],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBromeliad Society International Archive, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Bromeliad Society International Archive, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.

Prior to entering the service, Oxman resided in Brooklyn, New York and worked as a purchasing agent for Interstate Department Stores from 1933-1942.   On November 11, 1942 Oxman entered the Army Air Force.  After completing basic training, Oxman attended an eight week course in Administrative and Supply at Eastern Oklahoma A and M College in Wilburton, Oklahoma. Oxman served at Grenada Army Air Field (Mississippi) in the Special Services Section with responsibility for overseeing recreational programs for the base.  His duties included budgeting and supervising personnel needed to maintain the theater, service clubs, personal affairs section, rest camp, and Saturday night dances organized by the USO.

The collection includes the author's personal copies of first and foreign editions of his works, original typescripts of his fiction and screenplays, correspondence, research notes, illustrative artwork for dustcovers and paperbacks, in addition to personal mementos and photographs. In 1934, Theodore Pratt and his wife Belle Jacqueline Jacques moved to Lake Worth, Florida and made it their home until his death in 1969. He published 35 novels, including four mysteries under the pseudonym of \"Timothy Brace,\" two collections of short stories, two plays (adapted from his novels), and numerous short stories and articles. Pratt used a second pseudonym, \"Peter Steel\" for an adult novel titled The Amulet. Of the 35 novels, 14 of Pratt's novels and many of his short stories are set in Florida. His trilogy, consisting of The Barefoot Mailman, The Flame Tree, and The Big Bubble (reprinted as My Bride in the Storm), tell the story of the state between 1880 and 1924 and resulted in the author being dubbed \"the literary laureate of Florida.\" Four of his novels and one article were adapted to screenplays and became feature films. His Florida novels were thoroughly researched and scrupulously portrayed the history of Florida people, institutions and events. He also kept detailed documentation on the practical and tedious aspects of making a living as a writer. His correspondence and photographs illustrate his unique character and provides a glimpse into the old Florida lifestyle. In 1950, Pratt began to publish most of his work in paperback as he wanted to address sexual themes which most serious publishers would not consider.

In 1934, Theodore Pratt and his wife Belle Jacqueline Jacques moved to Lake Worth, Florida and made it their home until his death in 1969. He published 35 novels, including four mysteries under the pseudonym of \"Timothy Brace,\" two collections of short stories, two plays (adapted from his novels), and numerous short stories and articles. Pratt used a second pseudonym, \"Peter Steel\" for an adult novel titled The Amulet.  Of the 35 novels, 14 of Pratt's novels and many of his short stories are set in Florida. His trilogy, consisting of The Barefoot Mailman, The Flame Tree, and The Big Bubble (reprinted as My Bride in the Storm), tell the story of the state between 1880 and 1924 and resulted in the author being dubbed \"the literary laureate of Florida.\" Four of his novels and one article were adapted to screenplays and became feature films. His Florida novels were thoroughly researched and scrupulously portrayed the history of Florida people, institutions and events. He also kept detailed documentation on the practical and tedious aspects of making a living as a writer. His correspondence and photographs illustrate his unique character and provides a glimpse into the old Florida lifestyle.\n\nIn 1950, Pratt began to publish most of his work in paperback as he wanted to address sexual themes which most serious publishers would not consider. Pratt's interest in sexology or the scientific study of human sexual behavior can be seen in his novels, The Tormented (1950), The Lovers of Pompeii (1961), and Without Consent (1962). The Tormented is a study of nymphomania that was rejected by thirty-four publishers. Once published, it sold more than a million copies. Because of the paperback format and mass market appeal of his books, critics paid little attention to most of his work."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMaterials in the collections are to be used for private study, scholarship, or research in accord with the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code).
