For U.S. attorney-general Janet Reno, the case of Elián González was a decisive political victory. She had been involved in a relentless series of explosives controversies--from the 1993 Branch Dravidian siege in Waco, Texas, to the prosecution of Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Wen Ho Lee--all of which opened her to accusations of incompetence, cover-ups and partisanship. But in the Eliácase, Reno managed to marginalize the right. Conservative Republicans instinctively and almost unanimously sided with the Miami Cubans; the public supported Reno.
