...visit to New York lasted five days, the maximum Castro could get on his U.S. visa. He joked that he will not return until Giuliani fixes the potholes in the road from the airport. But the briefness of the trip probably worked to Castro's benefit. He flew off with the press still curious and businessmen eager to head to Havana. As another show-biz adage has it: always leave them wanting more...

At the San Francisco airport, bureau chief David S. Jackson ran into another harried traveler: Simpson lawyer Johnnie Cochran. New York correspondent Sharon Epperson and Chicago correspondent Wendy Cole found themselves on planes packed with other journalists. Cole dubbed hers "the O.J. Express." Seated behind her were talk-show staff members who spent most of the trip on an air phone trying to book Los Angeles camera crews...
