HAVANA BALL The Cuban-American community was (again) outraged last week, when a new photo of Elian was released. Was it the Pioneer scarf instead of the TV-show T shirt, the lack of sunglasses or the switching of a $129 scooter for two wooden sticks...
...creativity that makes nonsense of Marxism. Well, yes, and no - if you're Trent Lott, that is. According to the Senate Majority Leader and other congressional Republican honchos, an influx of U.S. goods will help force China's communist bureaucracy to democratize, but would only strengthen the hand of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Which is why the GOP leadership is fighting to stop a bill authorizing a partial lifting of trade sanctions against Cuba from reaching the House floor.

As a lifelong Republican, I am ashamed of my party for not supporting Reno. Cubans in America should be glad that we have laws and that they have the same rights and responsibilities as other Americans. Elian was used by the Cuban community in Miami, by politicians, by lawyers and by Castro. The whole affair was a pathetic display of human selfishness. KEN CAMMENGA Hudsonville, Mich...
