...came as no surprise that my flight home for the weekend last Friday was the latest in the "Can Vasant Make The Plane?" saga. A phone call to Delta Airlines made sure of that. "Flight 1029 from Newark, New Jersey to Atlanta, Georgia," the agonizingly slow voice said, "has been cancelled." I called again and got a seat for an earlier flight. Good, I thought, no problems so far. Then, right before I was about to leave work, my Mom's voice appeared in my head, saying, "Call before you go to the airport!"

When grief-stricken Miamians took to the streets two weeks ago as news spread that Elian Gonzalez was returning to Cuba, Graham began composing a sympathetic operetta, setting the little boy's saga to music.

Just as Elian's young mind will now struggle to reconcile the polarized worlds of Pikachu and Elpidio, he may have forced post-cold war politics to do the same. That's largely because Elian showed many Americans that...
Slender, California-breezy and prone to corny gay humor, the Rev. Mel White, co-head of the roving protest group Soulforce, seems a bit lightweight at first. But he has a powerful life saga, and was willing to get arrested not just in Cleveland in May and in Orlando, Fla., in June (Baptists), but plans to do likewise in Long Beach in July (Presbyterians) and possibly in Denver a week later (Episcopalians). The only transdenominational figure on the scene, he will establish the nightly-news rat-tat-tat for the entire season of contention. His attitude toward the various denominations...
