...News was out with a major story the next day; London's Daily Mail is said to have offered $190 to an Oldham reporter for the parents' names, and journalists began pouring into town from around the world. At least one posed as a friend of a patient to gain admittance to the hospital. Three Japanese photographers began shooting pictures of every pregnant woman in sight.
