Gore airs Elian Gonzalez custody views in Florida
Vice President Al Gore urged that Elian Gonzalez's father receive a visa to visit the United States so he may express his views without intimidation. The 6-year-old, found clinging to a boat off Fort Lauderdale on Thanksgiving Day, survived a deadly attempt to enter the U.S. illegally and is now at the center of an international custody fight drawing Cuba-wide protests. Gore called for due process in a tribunal to decide the child's best interests.

Questions linger over China spy case at Los Alamos
FBI arrested Wen Ho Lee, a Los Alamos scientist, on mishandling nuclear secrets. Probes widen to other labs and contractors for leaks about the W 88 warhead. Experts doubt a single master spy exists as China relies on many small leaks from open sources rather than Cold War style moles. Lee was fired in March for security violations and was named primary suspect after a polygraph.
