...Later that night, he met some unspecified American "friends" at Cuba's U.N. mission. In the chaotic swirl of some 700 bilateral meetings around the city over the next two days, nobody knows quite what Castro is planning for the night of Clinton's gala. He is slated to attend an Upper West Side church service for invited guests only on Friday; that, too, could turn out to be a traffic-stopper, given the fact that thousands of Cuban-Americans still smarting from their defeat over Elian Gonzalez will relish the opportunity to vent their rage...
...second-grade daughter to and from school. She just brings Kassandra Pasa, 7, to work with her at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach at 7 each morning--just when she's supposed to start her job.

The prize went to William O'Neill, who went on not only to be elected but also to assume the governorship when...

I was told that if I went, I would not be able to enter Lebanon again. Lebanon and Israel are still at war, and it is illegal for Lebanese nationals to have any contact with Israelis.
