...week's end, however, there were signs that no matter how much the folks involved want to get along, family squabbles could shatter their best intentions. Evidence emerged last week that the home in which Johnson has been raising Callie hasn't been the most tranquil. Carlton Conley, Johnson's sometime boyfriend and possibly Rebecca's biological father, was convicted of assault and battery in April. Johnson said Conley had shoved her, rammed her car with his truck and in January threatened to shoot her. (Small wonder, then, that last year Johnson obtained a state permit to carry a concealed...
Then, late Thursday, Melissa Conley--Carlton's sister--told TIME that Johnson was lying during the televised news conference that had gripped the country Wednesday. Through her own tears, Melissa, 41, said that she was in the delivery room and she saw an ID bracelet on Johnson's baby before she was taken from the room. Johnson has said that her baby was whisked away for tests before a bracelet was attached. If it turns out there's even the flimsiest of allegations linking Johnson to the switch--and there is no evidence of that now--the two families would...

"We're talking about critical habitat that's almost gone," says Jasper Carlton, director of the Biodiversity Legal Foundation. "We shouldn't be building in these areas anyway. Protecting the mouse saves the environment...
Environmentalist Carlton, whose lawsuit prodded the government to move on the mouse, says what the state may be scheming is "an end-run around the law to subvert restoring the ecosystem. You might have to move a golf course or road 100 ft. or so, but protection isn't going to do in anybody. There's a lot of fear-mongering going on." The Fish and Wildlife Service, apparently agreeing, contends that in 95% of cases only minimal disruption occurs when species are listed as endangered...
