...look for reasons not to send Elian back--a U.S. immigration officer stationed in Cuba met with Elian's father Juan Miguel at his Cardenas home (without Cuban officials present).

...people have a tough time accepting this fact--that for all of their hard work, they might not get as sweet a deal as those who know more people, even if the latter don't shine as brightly in the classroom. This, I think, is the rationale behind many individuals' peculiar distaste for final clubs and similar organizations at Harvard.
