Leonard Pitts argues in The Gazette that modern touch-free norms erode human connection. He links a homeless woman's plea for a hug to broader fears of isolation and violence, urging more humane contact despite fear of misinterpretation or legal risk.
Attorney General Janet Reno plans a Miami visit to explain why Elian Gonzalez should be transferred to his Cuban father. Officials say Reno may order the relatives to relinquish the boy at a Miami airport for air transport to reunite with his father. The move could end the standoff between Washington and anti Castro activists in South Florida. The Miami mayors pressed for a brief transition period and a family meeting between the Gonzalez family and Juan Miguel in Washington.
The Gazette corrects a Tuesday Ramblin entry noting Cedar Rapids stonemason Terry Pesek was misidentified. It clarifies that Students Against Sweatshops acts by consensus and Ned Bertz serves as the group spokesperson. The paper invites complaints about accuracy and will publish corrections.
