With the assistance of a generous grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, we collected former staff writer Jim DeFede's coverage of the U.S. government's pursuit of Miami's infamous "Cocaine Cowboys," Willy Falcon and Sal Magluta (AKA Los Muchachos). The Chronicles of Willy & Sal takes readers through this improbable only-in-Miami tale exactly as New Times readers experienced it in real-time in the 1990s, with the bonus of scores of added visuals — evidence photos, courtroom sketches, reproductions of the original newsprint layouts, and more.
How can you get your hands on this piece of local history? It's pretty simple. Become a recurring New Times member by September 30 and receive a signed book and poster, all for just $15 a month.

Camp Standard, an adults-only, luxe summer camp, returns to the Belle Isle hotel and spa August 15-18, loaded with wellness activities, fitness classes, arts and crafts, and astrology readings.
A three-night package includes access to the @thestandardmiami’s massive outdoor hydrotherapy area, a stay in a 230-square-foot room, daily curated dinners, and three days of action-packed meets ultra-wellness activities.
Fan favorite activities in years past have included friendship-bracelet making and campfire s’mores. Among the more unique activities to stick a pin in for 2024, there will be a dinner on Thursday evening with the property’s resident astrologer and acupuncturist discussing current astrological influences. Friday will feature movement classes, watersports like kayaking and paddleboarding, and a luau-style dinner. Saturday promises more movement classes, a Biscayne Bay cruise excursion, and an evening hammam sweat session. Sunday is billed as a wind-down day before everyone has to go home.

Having crunched data from the 332 census block groups that comprise the City of Miami, Climate Central pegged Miami’s average UHI at 8.38 degrees. That’s the ninth-highest average UHI index of the 65 cities that were studied. (New York City topped the list at 9.65 degrees, with San Francisco, Newark, Chicago, and Philadelphia rounding out the top five.) West Palm Beach slotted in two spots higher than Miami, at 8.47 degrees.
Jennifer Brady, a senior data analyst and research manager for the climate-focused nonprofit, notes that “Miami has pretty high temperatures to begin with, so the additional heat on top is going to make it even hotter. Whereas in New York, you may have more areas that are 11 degrees hotter, but maybe these temperatures are lower.” Moreover, the UHA index doesn’t factor in humidity.
