...foundation might be trying to cut its p.r. losses by moving to have Lazaro and Elian's father Juan Miguel at least meet in Washington before handing over the boy," says TIME Miami bureau chief Tim Padgett.

"You don't have these problems in antelopes and cheetahs, but in horses, we've apparently pushed to the limit," says Weyand. "If a human ran a 2-min. mile, you might see the same thing...
