...survived the shipwreck and was safely in the hands of the Miami branch of the family, Lazaro and other family members immediately began quietly working out how father and son would be reunited. But that was before Castro began making his public demands that the Miami family return the boy, and before the leaders of the exile community swooped down on Lazaro's small house in Little Havana and drew the family deep into the local political swamps. Robinson Crusoe did not have the misfortune of washing ashore in a swing state...
...help when, in January, Juan Miguel saw the TV pictures of Elian, dressed in a crisp new school uniform, heading off to a private school run by a Cuban-American political leader. Cuban psychiatrists had advised the father to tell Elian during their regular phone calls that the boy was "on vacation" and that they would be reunited soon. But starting a new school put a lie to that promise, and the family seemed determined to drag the case through the courts. Juan Miguel pleaded with INS officials to speed up the process, and they complied--worried that with each...
Castro, of course, has some experience with re-education, and he had a plan for Elian. TIME has learned from high-level Cuban sources that he considered whisking the boy and his immediate family off to a beach spa, where psychiatrists, teachers and Cuban officials could help him "reassimilate"--purging Elian of Pokemon and turning him back into a Young Pioneer.

Since this was a refugee camp, though, and personal survival, never mind personal wealth, was hard to come by, the bridal price was below market: one cow, payable in some distant future when Rwandan Hutu would have cows and land to graze them on. A Catholic priest presided over the ceremony, attended by the other refugees from Havamungo's Rwankogoto village and sealed...
Sometimes Norton is the soft guy: a lawyer helping a porn king (Larry Flynt), a fellow whose girlfriend falls for a convict (Everyone Says I Love You), a despondent drone surrendering to the spell of a pummeling anarchist (Fight Club). Sometimes he's the bad boy: an ex-con luring a respectable pal into the gambling underworld (Rounders) or a neo-Nazi with an impressionable kid brother (American History X). And once or twice--in his heralded movie debut Primal Fear, for example--he is both mild and wild, with schizophrenic tendencies bubbling up at whim or will...
