...Michael Lathan of Cornell University testified to the board that there could be no doubt bottle-feeding is a major cause of infant mortality. Lathan said Nestle has taken some measures, but added that they are "small steps when giant strides are needed...

We agree that RUS must reverse its low profile if it wishes to be an effective and responsive advocate of women's concerns.

Similarly, Begin's receptiveness deserves recognition. But the Nobel Peace Prize should not be used merely to encourage future peace efforts. Nor should it commend individuals whose search for peace...
