...Faith Tabernacle, founded in 1897 and centered in Philadelphia, has run up against the law before. In 1983 two members were convicted in the death of their two-year-old son, based on a 1944 Supreme Court ruling that also influenced the Nixon case: "Parents may be free to become martyrs themselves. But it does not follow that they are free ... to make martyrs of their children before they have reached the age of full and legal discretion...
Michelle Crider, 28, was speechless. The pharmacist had just said, "No." The married mother of a two-year-old daughter, Crider was concerned that she might become pregnant after having intercourse with her husband.

Washington officials were stunned. Mexico is the conduit for as much as 75% of the cocaine that reaches the U.S. The two-year-old government of President Ernesto Zedillo, which succeeded a regime peppered with charges of corruption, had made great efforts to be seen as a credible partner in the war against drugs. Why then would Zedillo fail to send an early warning when Gutierrez was first suspected--and as a result embarrass the Administration? The timing was especially unfortunate. The arrest took place less than two weeks before Clinton is to send his annual report to Congress certifying...
