32. It was a big shock to learn, during the time so much noise was being
made over the Cuban American National Foundation's efforts to keep Elián Gonzalez in the States, away from his own father, that his nearest relative (great uncle) Lázaro had met him before in Cuba, when he went there for vacation, and had even used Elián's father's own bedroom, graciously offered to him, while Elián's father, Juan Miguel slept in his car outside!

He repaid this kindness by spending his days fishing, and hanging out in the bars at night. What a tremendous visitor!

I think Bush's nasty ban on even CUBANS not being able to go home more than once every three years is going to bite him back one day. I'll bet they don't like that one bit, or at least the sane ones. Who would?
