LETTER IN THE NEW YORK
TIMES 4/24/00
Juan Miguel Gonzalez won the battle for legally entitled custody
of his son, but lost his claim to be a caring father by
sanctioning an additional and traumatic sudden separation for
Elian.
How can we calm frightened children whose Saturday morning
televised cartoons were pre-empted by a terrified 6-year-old's
being abducted at gunpoint?
How can proponents of gun control justify the message conveyed
by their use of guns in this hostile takeover? There are
no winners here.
