...wasn't the first episode of Survivor II, but rather the second attempt of Cuban baseball slugger ANDY MORALES to reach U.S. soil. Six weeks ago, the stellar third baseman tried to defect but was plucked from the sea and hauled back to his homeland, where a year earlier Castro had personally congratulated him for hitting the winning home run in an exhibition game against the Orioles. On Thursday, Morales, 25, who left behind his wife and seven-month-old son, met his new signing agent outside the INS detention center in Florida. When asked if he considered himself...

He didn't even go to the airport himself, although [national assembly speaker] Ricardo Alarcon, who'd been Juan Miguel's consultant, was there. The only ceremonial welcome came from Elian's classmates, who were brought to the airport. Later he met with some of them at an undisclosed location. They're being very careful about how to reintegrate Elian. All the posters bearing his image have been taken down, so that he won't see his face on the walls...
