Society also supports education acquired via traditional means. Take correspondence courses, for example. These courses offer a form of distance learning similar to that proposed by Saylor; in both, students sign up for courses and can get a degree without ever stepping foot in a classroom.

In 1996 brother Victor was kidnapped by a criminal triad boss, and father Li paid a ransom estimated at more than $100 million.

Then there's the drama of Elian's own reunion with a father he's known only via the telephone since last November's trauma. And even the question of whether a sojourn in a tony Maryland suburb leads Juan Miguel to contemplate a change of address. The drama that began last fall appears to have reached its season-finale cliffhanger, and the outcome is anything but predictable...
