...wait, we talk to Marisa, who we learn is studying English; she wants to get into tourism. She is married to an American, a photographer from Los Angeles. She was just coming back from Havana, as a matter of fact, where she was seeing him off at the airport...
...Cuba, meanwhile, Elian's father Juan Miguel Gonzalez, 31, a tourism employee and Communist Party member, charged that Elizabet, whom he divorced in 1997, had "kidnapped" Elian--and he argued that the child must be returned to live with him.

"If it emerges that the copilot is to blame, that could hurt Egypt's authoritarian government, which likes to project the image that it keeps the trains running on time," says MacLeod. "It could also affect tourism and the country's image abroad. So there's likely to be further tension in U.S.-Egyptian relations unless the investigation's conclusion is based on ironclad evidence." After all, given the conspiracy theorizing that has swept Egypt in response to the Washington leaks, Cairo may be hard-pressed to accept...
