Juan Miguel Gonzalez could, of course, arrive in the U.S., denounce Fidel Castro, thank his uncle Lazaro for protecting little Elian, and buy a season ticket to the Marlins...
...dispute that reality. Still, if Castro controls Juan Miguel, many are worried that the Foundation is manipulating Lazaro Gonzalez, 49, the semi-employed great-uncle who has custody of Elian in Miami. Close relatives in Miami say his many publicity stunts with the boy are out of character. And while relatives say they admire the mothering that Lazaro's daughter Marisleysis, 21, has given Elian, they complain, in the words of one of them, that "she doesn't make him a glass of chocolate milk without telling him that his grandmothers can't buy that for him in Cuba...
...fighting to keep Elian Gonzalez in Miami aren't about to concede defeat. Facing a last chance Wednesday to accept an INS demand that he sign a commitment to peacefully surrender the boy if they lose their legal appeal - or else lose his temporary custody of Elian on Thursday - Lazaro Gonzalez and his family appear to remain defiant.

The government has threatened to revoke Elian's parole status by Thursday...
...sign of desperation. The Miami relatives had long resisted the temptation, knowing full well how badly Middle America might judge their forcing a bereaved and confused child to share his pain on TV. But with the legal tide running against them, the boy's great-uncle Lazaro Gonzalez and his backers in the Cuban exile community may be gambling on more desperate measures to stop the U.S. government from implementing its decision to return the boy to his father. The segment broadcast Monday shows Elian recounting the trauma of his mother's death, but skirts the hot-button issue...
