...Elian, they said, is capable of deciding where he wants to live. But the first-grader's crude letters betray his tender mind, like the Power Rangers in his toy box. Last week Miami Federal Judge K. Michael Moore dismissed the relatives' case and agreed with Attorney General Janet Reno that only the Cuban father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, can speak for a child that young. "Each passing day," Moore wrote, "is another day lost" between Juan Miguel and Elian...
...Foundation (CANF)--both want their new missile crisis to last and revive the waning influence they enjoyed during the cold war. "They need this fight the way you and I need oxygen," says Dr. Raul de Velasco, head of the moderate Miami-based Cuban Committee for Democracy. Attorney General Reno insists that keeping Elian here will set a precedent that could in turn make U.S. children legally vulnerable abroad. But at the same time, Al Gore needs Florida votes. As a result, although Reno has demanded that the Miami family stop stalling, the Clinton Administration has little stomach for enforcing...
...years after the murder, the Kings implored the President to investigate Pepper's wild story. Clinton passed the buck to Attorney General Janet Reno. She appointed a team led by Barry Kowalski--a tough Justice Department veteran who prosecuted the Los Angeles cops who beat Rodney King--to examine two of Pepper's more checkable allegations: former Memphis bar owner Loyd Jowers' claim that he set up the shooting and ex-FBI agent Donald Wilson's claim that he found a scrap of paper in Ray's getaway car with the phone number of a Dallas nightclub once owned...
...judge has cleared the way legally for Attorney General Janet Reno to send Elian Gonzalez back to his father in Cuba, but his family would be ill-advised to start preparing the welcome home party just yet.

Michael Moore on Monday upheld the Justice Department's ruling that only the six-year-old's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, has any legal standing to speak for Elian, and dismissed a lawsuit by his great-uncle Lazaro Gonzalez to request asylum on his behalf. Although those Gonzalez family members who are pressing to keep Elian in Miami have vowed...
...While Reno ponders how far to allow the appeal process to go, congressional Republicans who want Elian kept in Miami may further complicate matters with a political initiative of their own. "A drawn-out appeal process will certainly give new impetus to congressional efforts to make Elian a citizen, and any other tricks they may have up their sleeves," says Padgett. "This is far from over." Indeed, if Elian was once hostage to a fearsome family feud, he may soon be a captive of a particularly bitter U.S. election...
