TIME has learned that a political consultant who has been at the forefront of efforts to keep Elian in the U.S. and has acted as a spokesman for the boy's Miami relatives also served as a political consultant to the judge who on Monday awarded one those relatives temporary custody. Armando Gutierrez served as a political consultant in the 1998 election campaign of Judge Rodriguez, who said Monday that (unlike the U.S. government) she'd been convinced that Elian faces imminent danger if he were returned to Cuba now.

Bush was forced to lean on the 11th Commandment of Republican campaigning - don't hurt the party. And thus Bush and McCain staged a minor p.r. coup, shaking hands...
...session with TIME editors on Monday, Vice President Al Gore said that if he receives the Democratic nomination, he will immediately challenge the Republican nominee to cease television and radio advertising and instead engage him in twice-weekly debates. The challenge is similar to one he has already issued to Bill Bradley - one that Bradley has denounced as "a ploy," but that is working well with focus groups...
