Cuba Rally Tom Gibb reports from Havana that hundreds of thousands of women marched in the Cuban capital today. The government called for a mass demonstration demanding the return of Elian Gonzalez. Elian's grandmothers led the march, which was broadcast on state TV Fidel Castro's regime organized the rally after a US federal court ruled yesterday that Elian does not have the right to an asylum hearing. While the ruling makes Elian's return to Cuba much more likely, the Havana government is unhappy that his homecoming could still be at least three weeks off.
