OOOOH- did you notice they said "His Priest"- did they convert this little boy in the short time they had him? Because he wasn't a Catholic in Cuba. So they just tried substituting Christ for Castro in this kids belief system? WOWEE That's some hubris. Gotta love that. WOW- did you see where Elian was available to be called EVERYDAY by Juan? That's not very absentee is it???? These people are messed up. And I thought my extended family was nuts. YOWZA.

<<Just posturing ... worded for the newspapers, not for communication with the INS.>> Exactly! <<can't copy and paste from this page for some reason >> This is so annoying. I run a clip file manager on my computer organized by subject, for example, all my stocks. Whenever I find some little tidbit of info, I clip it. When Barrons first came on line, you couldn't copy and paste any of their text. I complained loudly. They stopped whatever they were doing a few weeks later. Meanwhile, I figured out one way to get around it. When I run into that problem now I read the page into an HTML editor. I just use Composer in Netscape. Once the text is in there, I can copy and clip. Does anyone on the thread understand what it is that they do to make text unavailable for copying. I'd really like to know what setting or code or whatever makes the page too slippery to copy. Any techies out there? Karen
