Disc A · Apr 23 2000

Second recorder; single-disc tape (1:31). Easter Sunday, April 23, 2000 - the day after federal agents seized six-year-old Elián González from his relatives' Miami home - on Chicago-area cable:

- Morning, channel-surfing: Fox News Channel's 'Fight for Elián' (Rita Cosby at Andrews Air Force Base, Tony Snow, Orlando Salinas in Miami, Bret Baier, James Rosen; Julian Epstein and Jack Thompson; a Fox News Live update with Donna Fiducia), CNN Sunday Morning (Gene Randall, Pierre Thomas, Martin Savidge in Havana) and ABC's This Week with Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts (George Will, George Stephanopoulos).

- Evening: WLS ABC7 Chicago news (Lisa Sylvester at Andrews; local Cuban-American reaction; Brad Palmer's sports - the White Sox sweep Detroit, Kerry Wood at Triple-A Iowa, Sammy Sosa), then a CNBC 'Farewell to the Kingdome' feature from The News with Brian Williams, and a flip to CNN sports. The tape ends.

Timed by Fox's Central-time clock and CNN's ET bug. Tracking is clean.
