...shall be, U.S. officials ruled. They had hoped Juan Miguel would come to Miami to pick Elian up, but the father insists that returning Elian is the obligation of U.S. officials. Castro, who has used the incident to whip up anti-U.S. feelings at home, barred Juan Miguel from making the trip, probably fearful of a defection. "This is a case of common sense," said Ricardo Alarcon, the president of Cuba's National Assembly. "This boy has to be returned here as soon as possible." The INS is committed to having...
...PADGETT, TIME's Miami bureau chief, has covered Latin America since 1989, but as the parent of a 5-year-old boy, he was particularly intrigued by the international tug-of-war over this week's cover subject, Elian Gonzalez.

Kirk Read, father of two and a professor at Bates College in Maine, was "looking for some male companionship that didn't involve guns, sports or six packs. I really felt a lack of male friends I could talk with about my life," he said. Read started a fiction book group of five men that meets each month. He says that their discussions sometimes lead the group to "get emotional issues out on the table.
