Elian Gonzalez is a 6 year
old Cuban shipwreck survivor. The international custody dispute surrounding
him is worthy of King Solomon's wisdom - should he be allowed
to stay in the United States with relatives who love him or should he be
returned to Cuba to his biological father who also loves and wants him.
Our guests are on different sides of the issue and will debate why they
feel that there opinion is the right one.

scarcities. Supporters of biotechnology argue that the new biological
and genetic approaches to boost agricultural yields will end world hunger
and solve problems created by chemically intensive farming. Our guests
will discuss new technologies available to farmers worldwide.
