...minutes later, Fyfe sealed the Crimson's fate with St. Lawrence's fifth goal of the night...
...there was something peculiarly awful about watching a parallel story of water, fate and power play itself out mercilessly upon a boy no more prepared for tragedy than any other six-year-old. Elian Gonzalez was dazed when fishermen picked him up on Thanksgiving Day, lashed atop an inner tube in the Atlantic off Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He too was half crazy--from dehydration, from the loss of his mother, from watching his other companions, after the small boat that had brought them from Cuba sank in heavy seas, slip one by one into the deep.

While Reno's decision starts the courtroom process higher up the judicial chain, the case could still potentially go all the way to the Supreme Court before Elian's fate is settled. "But this takes it out of the hands of a state court system where a judge potentially sympathetic to the Miami relatives could tie up the case for years," says Cohen. "The federal court system will resolve it as a matter of urgency given that a young boy's well-being...
