...Although Juan Miguel Gonzalez is bound by this week's court decision to remain with his son in the U.S. pending the outcome of the relatives' appeal, his reunion with Elian will change the political facts of this case. It now becomes a campaign to remove a six-year-old from the care of his father and transfer him back to some relatives in Miami, and that's unlikely to elicit much sympathy from either the public or the courts.

That's a legalism that assumes Juan Miguel Gonzalez to be as selfish, as narcissistic as most Americans have become in asserting their "rights." I am speaking of something deeper, more basic, more humanly essential--the father's love, his connection with his son. If the boy has a basic right, it is the right to his father...
