ELIµN Only Fidel Still Likes This Story Newsweek, May 22, 2000 While media coverage of Eli n Gonz lez blessedly winds down in the United States, in Cuba "it's getting worse all the time," says a 33-year-old Havana woman. Throughout the country - wallpapered with Eli n's face - Cubans have had enough. Round-table Eli n discussions, held almost daily on TV, shove the usual sports, cartoon and soap programs back to late night. If the discussions run late, according to one woman, "everyone goes out into the streets to drink rum. They're turning us all into alcoholics." Public transportation halts during the "spontaneous" demonstrations. There have been more than a dozen in Havana alone; many people say they can't skip them for fear of reprisals at work. Said one man, "If I told you how much dislike I have for the demonstrations, you'd have to write a book." Cubans want Eli n to come home - if only so they can stop hearing about him. newsweek.com
