[0:00] TU's weather in the hour is brought to

[0:02] you by Tplick Laser Surgery Centers,

[0:04] your vision for the future.

[0:11] From ABC News in Washington, this week

[0:15] with Sam Donaldson and Ki Roberts,

[0:17] featuring George Will. And our roundt

[0:21] with George Stephanopoulos and Bill

[0:23] Crystal. This week, flare-ups around the

[0:26] world. Six-year-old Cuban Ellen Gonzalez

[0:29] caught in a diplomatic crossfire between

[0:31] Cuba and the United States. His father

[0:33] demands his return, but President

[0:38] >> What would be best for the child and

[0:40] there is a legal process for determining

[0:43] >> And on the other side of the world,

[1:12] why I'm thinking of you as a vice

[1:13] presidential candidate.

[1:16] >> As the Republican rivals head into

[1:18] another debate, will Bush's lead shrink?

[1:21] We'll talk to candidates Orin Hatch,

[1:24] Gary Bower, and Alan Keys.

[1:27] >> Cuba versus US, Yeltson's tough talk,

[1:31] Bush's image problem, all here this

[1:35] Sunday morning.

[1:37] >> Welcome to our program. Yes, indeed, we

[1:39] have lots of politics as usual, but for

[1:41] the first time in several weeks, foreign

[1:43] policy is the dominant theme
