Even as Elian fury peaked on both sides, diplomacy between Washington and Havana was getting chummier. Castro stoked Cubans' anger over Elian for domestic benefit and diplomatic leverage, but he was quietly acting more neighborly. When Cuban immigrants held at a Louisiana prison took hostages just before Christmas, Castro agreed to take the prisoners back after their surrender. When a former South Vietnamese fighter pilot flew over Havana early this month to drop anti-Castro leaflets, Castro's air force didn't blow...
...Washington's decision may anger the Miami organizations, but it also takes the wind out of Fidel Castro's sails. Cuban-American campaigning to keep Elian separated from his natural family has enraged ordinary Cubans, and that had allowed Castro to draw millions of people onto the streets for some old-style anti-yanqui protests. U.S. Cuba policy is often determined with a close eye on the electoral strength of Florida's exile community, and the decision to overrule them in an election year may pose a risk for Al Gore.

The American Association of Retired Persons provides helpful resources...

The picture he painted reflects the narrow-minded and offensive climate that fills Columbine High. It is comments like Todd's that fuel the anger, embarrassment and feelings of inadequacy of people like Harris and Klebold, because these youngsters do not fit the acceptable mold. To say as others do that "the whole social-cruelty angle was overblown" is ridiculous. As a senior in high school, I have watched for the past 3 1/2 years...
