Consolation for Patinkin

Asks Projo columnist Mark Patinkin : " Am I the only

    person in America who has no problem with the way the

    government seized Elian Gonzalez ? "

          Mark, just the check the front page of yesterday's

    USA Today : " Poll- Most support Elian raid " . 60% approve

    federal agents removing Elian ! And 68%  oppose hearings !

              Mr. Achorn had a very intelligent negative

    opinion of the raid in a recent column. But the GOP

    politicians want to quarrel with SUCCESS . Strictly

    for losers.

            Patinkin's column reflected the sound instincts of

    a Dad. But let no one claim divine wisdom in these heartbreaking

    affairs.

           Most Cuban Americans are very good warm hearted

    people. But like the Italians stubborn and hot blooded

    - even with the Mother of God on their side.
