...something brave, which we've never quite been able to do before. We'd have to decide that no matter how sharp our withdrawal pains threatened to become, no matter how much we loved rehashing the story on our coffee breaks, no matter how conveniently Elian's saga distracted us from the substantive issues facing our country, we'd release our obsessive Bay of Pigs-era grip on the boy and send him back to his father. Because hasn't Elian suffered enough...
...currently developing a TV movie for next season to tell the Elian Gonzalez saga, which includes a 4 1/2 month legal battle for custody of the six-year-old. The broadcast will last approximately...
...Americas' epic immigration saga, long taught in schools and enshrined in popular books. At the end of the last Ice Age about 12,000 years ago, brave Siberians walked across the Bering Sea land bridge, then edged their way south via a newly opened corridor in the ice and fanned out in all directions. Within 500 years, their descendants had settled most of the hemisphere, from the Arctic Circle to the tip of South America. Alas, as archaeologists have learned by digging up and down the Americas, this engaging tale may be wrong...

Since the night Elian's mother drowned while escaping Cuba, leaving him to float on an inner tube for two days, his saga has been as bizarre and unending as a novel of magic realism. The Miami lawyers are appealing Moore's ruling, and myriad other delay tactics await. Meanwhile, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro apparently still won't let Juan Miguel, 31, go to Miami to get Elian. Bottom line: this ugly international custody battle has a few more skirmishes to go before one side can claim victory...
