Elian’s Uncle, Analysts Discuss Child’s Transfer MIAMI - After refusing for months to return Elian Gonzalez to his father, the boy’s great-uncle met with govern ment-appointed psychiatrists Monday to arrange a transfer that won’t trauma tize the child. The meeting lasted only an hour, despite the government’s suggestion that it would take as long as three. There was no immediate explanation from the two sides, but Ed Rosasco, president of the hospital where the meeting took place, said it was cordial. Thousands of people gathered Monday night a few blocks from the great-uncle’s home and marched toward it, praying for Elian and criticiz ing federal officials for their handling of the case. Police closed about 30 city blocks to traffic. Immigration and Naturalization Service officials agreed to hold Monday’s meeting at Mercy Hospital to accommodate Elian’s great-uncle Lazaro Gonzalez, who said he could not leave his 21-year-old daughter, Marisleysis. The young woman, who has been a mother figure to Elian, has been hospi talized since Saturday for stress and exhaustion and did not attend. President Praises Asia For Peace Negotiations TOKYO - President Clinton praised North and South Korea on Monday for agreeing to hold an unprecedented sum mit, and China, Japan and Russia promised support for the talks that have raised hopes for an easing of tensions along the world’s most militarized bor der. The meeting between the South’s president, Kim Dae-jung, and his north ern counterpart, Kim Jong 11, would be the first between leaders of the two states since the Korean peninsula was divided into the communist North and the capi talist South in 1945. The announcement of the June 12 to June 14 summit crowns efforts by the South, backed by the U.S. and Japan, to engage North Korea, which has cracked open its long self-imposed isolation to seek much needed relief after famine and near economic collapse. “Direct dialogue between the two Koreas is something we have long advo cated and is fundamental to solving the Looking IIJI for my "Mary" to Marry r in Chagd Hill Me - Brett Favre meets Ben Stiller - SWASPM, 52 y. 0., never married, 5’10", 175 lbs., tan, mid night brown hair & eyes, former UT-Austin SAE & All-American Athlete, Harvard JD/MBA, independently wealthy Silicon Valley Exec.

The resolution, introduced by Rep. Robin Hayes, R-N.C. passed 397-0. “It’s more than fitting that the Congress of the United States recognize our nation’s men and women in uniform for their contributions,” said Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, top Democrat on the Armed Service Committee. “The American GI changed the course of world history in helping defeat fascism and communism.” “There’s not a region of the world whose people have not benefited from the presence of the American Gls in the 20th century,” said Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif. Protesters Rally in D.C.

British Pubs to Serve Pints Around-the-Clock LONDON - Hoping to cut down on binge drinking and pub brawls, the British government proposed a novel idea Monday: Allow bars to stay open 24 hours a day. Scrapping the mandatory 11 p.m. closing time was the centerpiece of plans to liberalize and streamline licensing laws that were inspired by fears of muni tions workers getting drunk during World War I. “Fixed closing times encourage binge drinking around last orders,” Home Secretary Jack Straw told the House of Commons, “The result is lots of people hitting the streets -and sometimes each other - at the same time,” Straw explained.
