...Elian Gonzalez saga is all over but the shouting, and while there'll be plenty of that, it's unlikely to materially affect the outcome. Cuban-Americans vented their anger in Miami Tuesday by closing down Little Havana in a "general strike," while Attorney General Janet Reno next week faces a Senate into the raid that reunited the boy with his father. The Miami relatives asked the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to appoint a guardian to monitor Elian's wellbeing, having been frustrated for four days in their efforts to see the boy because Juan Miguel Gonzalez wants more...
...Elian Gonzalez saga is all over but the shouting, and while there'll be plenty of that, it's unlikely to materially affect the outcome. Cuban-Americans vented their anger in Miami Tuesday by closing down Little Havana in a "general strike," while Attorney General Janet Reno was called to a meeting with U.S. senators to account for the tactics used in reuniting the boy with his father.

First came two weeks of education initiatives, followed by his foray into health care and housing. This week Bush will propose another policy aimed...
Manuel's words, at least early in the week, seemed to soften Lazaro's stance, but it was New Jersey Senator Robert Torricelli, whose state is home to the second largest Cuban-American community, who tried to broker a graceful exit strategy. Tracking down Juan Miguel's lawyer, Gregory Craig, Torricelli found him in Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder's office--along with Reno. Torricelli said the Miami wing continued to insist that if Juan Miguel wanted Elian, he would have to go to Miami to get him. It was a dare and a test. They knew...
