...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 doubtless end up in an unprecedented court battle...
Johnson's lawyer wouldn't speak with TIME about Conley's allegations (or anything else). But Johnson herself had previously rejected any suggestion that she was involved. Hospital officials, she says, "act like I went into Wal-Mart and switched my baby. I'm not ... a rocket scientist, but I'm not an idiot. Why would I switch my kid? It doesn't make sense."

"Internationally, drug control is moving in the direction of complementing interdiction with education campaigns and rehabilitation programs to reduce demand for drugs, and even financial incentives for impoverished farmers to switch from drug plants to alternative crops." But with midterm elections looming, the GOP initiative may restrain any inclination in the Clinton administration to try alternative strategies...
