�Miami Will Burn!�

January 7, 2000
They took to the streets, where they
were met by mounted police.
They took to the highways, where they
were arrested for driving
too slowly.
They took to the airwaves, where they
found a warmer welcome in
Greater Miami.
Wherever they were and whatever they
did, they were on the side
of the relatives of 6-year-old Elian
Gonzalez who have vowed never
to allow the United States government to
return him � despite his
father�s wishes � to his native Cuba.
It�s been many a year since the
Cuban-American community in
South Florida has been this riled up,
expressed in the vehemence of
their placards and epithets against the
communist regime of Fidel
Castro in what was once their homeland.
They took out their anger on the
American president as well.
As they waved their signs and Cuban
flags, they shouted "Clinton!
Coward! Miami hates you!"
One slogan, though, stood out among all
others, and it has law
enforcement officials alarmed.
"If Elian goes back Miami will burn!�
Those charged with maintaining the peace
and protecting lives and
property were immediately reminded of
earlier resorts to violence in
Miami�s largely black minority
neighborhoods.
Most of all, there were recollections of
parts of Los Angeles and the
nation�s capital in flames during the
civil-rights riots of the 1960s.
It was the second day of protests in
Miami against the Immigration
and Naturalization Service decision to
send Elian back to Cuba after
he was rescued on Thanksgiving Day from
a sinking boat in which
his mother and her boy friend had sought
to flee Castro�s Cuba.
She and 10 others drowned off the
Florida coast. Somehow, Elian
survived, only to become an innocent
pawn in the latest struggle
between those who fled Cuba and the
dictator who caused them to
flee.
Clad in riot gear, Miami police hustled
nearly a hundred
demonstrators off to jail in plastic
handcuffs. The Florida Highway
Patrol issued fistfuls of $85 tickets to
drivers who blocked key
intersections and traffic arteries in
one of the nation�s most
car-jammed metro areas.
There was talk of forming a human chain
to prevent Elian from
being removed from his extended family�s
house where he stays,
reportedly uninformed that all that�s
going on around him is about
him.
What there was not much talk of � at
least not publicly � was
finding an unemotional, sensible caring
way out of this mess.
It is a colossal mess that Castro
produced, knowing full well what
he was doing, when he staged
demonstrations in Havana demanding
Elian�s immediate return and depicting
Uncle Sam, once again, as
the venal enemy of the Cuban people.
Now, President Clinton and his
administration are accused by
furious Cuban-Americans of caving in to
Castro with the INS ruling
that it is Elian�s father�s right to
decide whether he remains or
returns.
At her weekly news conference Thursday,
Attorney General Janet
Reno gave the official Clinton
administration line when she said,
"Based on all the information we have to
date, I see no basis for
reversing� that ruling.
And the father says he wants Elian home
again with him,
communist though the island society has
been for decades.
FoxNews on its Internet site reported
reactions typical of angry
Miami protesters.
� Maria Elena Cervera, born 46 years ago
in Cuba, said: "That kid
should not be sent back to hell. I went
through that hell when I was
a kid.
"Are we going to send a child back to
prison just to be with his
father?
"I always thought this was a place of
liberty, and they are not letting
him keep that liberty.
"It�s always about the father. What
about the mother? That was his
mother�s will.�
� Ramon Saul Sanchez, one of those
organizing the protests, said,
"Unfortunately we have had to resort to
these tactics because the
president is unwilling to understand how
traumatic it would be for
Elian to be sent back to Cuba.�
Almost lost in the turmoil was one voice
calling for calm.
Armando Garcia, 33, who came to the
United States from Cuba a
decade ago, said when interviewed after
his car was caught up in
the jammed traffic, "I think they should
stop this. They should be
going to court, not here.�
David Abraham, an immigration law
professor at the University of
Miami, told FoxNews that Elian�s
relatives in Florida won�t have a
good argument if they ever get to court.
"There is no legal basis" to block
Elian's return, Abraham said. "If
this child came from anywhere else, he
would have been home
within 48 hours."
The Orlando Sun-Sentinel reported a
reminder of the cultural
tensions and hostilities that lie barely
beneath the surface in South
Florida.
Some Cuban-Americans, it said, are
worried that the protests over
Elian will inflame the always-tense
relationship between their
community and others in Miami.
"The backlash is already here," it
quoted Aida Levitan. "I've heard a
lot of comments from people in Broward
County who are
non-Hispanic who feel these are the
actions of a minority trying to
terrorize a community.
"I just hope people are patient. It's
very easy to judge others when
you were not born in a country that has
been under a dictatorship
for four decades."

Clinton Cigar-Sex Fetish Didn't Start with
Lewinsky
It's not likely to have the impact of the top
secret Paula Jones
case impeachment evidence still being witheld
by Congress, but
Jeff Toobin's upcoming book A Vast Conspiracy
does promise a
few intriguing tidbits.
Advanced publicity trumpets the release of
Clinton rape accuser
Juanita Broaddrick's initial November 1997
account to Jones'
investigators Rick and Beverly Lambert.
And we'll finally learn the contents of Jones'
mysterious 1994
affidavit, wherein the former Arkansas state
employee describes
the "distinguishing characteristics" of the
first phallus.
(Jones case afficianados already know the
secret, since she
immediately gave all the gory details to
coworker Debra
Ballentine, who passed on the account to
Jones' lawyers. They
released Ballentine's deposition long ago.)
But here's a little item we wonder if even Mr.
Toobin is aware
of.
Turns out, Monica Lewinsky wasn't the first
Clinton staffer to
become acquainted with Bill Clinton's
shockingly kinky cigar-sex
fetish. In fact, a full five months before
cyber-sleuth Matt
Drudge went public with news that Clinton got
his kicks by
watching Monica simulate sex with tobacco
products, the
president's perverted turn-on was described in
a widely read
supermarket tabloid.
Flight attendant Shelia Swatzyna, who served
aboard
then-candidate Clinton's 1992 campaign plane,
told the National
Enquirer:
"[Clinton] loved to tell off-color jokes and
make sexual
remarks. It was his way of telling the girls,
'The door is
open.' There was always a sexual innuendo. He
would put his arm
around one of the women and start whispering
in her ear. He
loved to be up close with the stewardesses.
One of his favorite
tricks was to take a cigar and lick it. He
never lit the cigar.
He would just play with it in front of the
women." (National
Enquirer -- March 24, 1998)
Swatzyna's recollections are eerily similiar
to Monica's own
account of how Clinton introduced her to his
bizarre taste for
cigar-sex:
"He was chewing on a cigar. And then he had
the cigar in his
hand and he was kind of looking at the cigar
in...sort of a
naughty way. And so...I looked at the cigar
and I looked at him
and I said, we can do that, too, some time."
(Lewinsky
deposition -- The Starr Report)
Though at least one former Clinton flight
attendant won a
prestigious West Wing post after apparently
acquiescing to the
candidate's advances, none has yet come
forward to claim she
went the full Monica route, cigar and all.
But Cristy Zercher, a former campaign plane
flight attendant who
would later allege that Clinton brazenly
groped her while
Hillary slept just feet away, told NewsMax.com
on Thursday that
the soon-to-be president wasn't at all shy
about making his
proclivities known.
"He did his cigar thing in front of the other
girls and later
they told me about it. In front of me he did a
lot of other
things."
Zercher didn't elaborate, but her April 1998
account to Star
magazine alleged that Clinton repeatedly came
on to her while
she was on the job, sometimes with his pants
unzipped.
