For those who are interested, the latest issue of 'The New Internationalist'
(which just reached me) is a special issue on the question of infant
nutrition and the milk-products companies in particular.  Includes many
interesting articles, including a survey of countries summarising the extent
to which they have enacted laws to enforce the recommendations of WHO on
infants and breat-feeding.  (Oddly the USA was the only country in the
world to vote against the WHO recommendation.  Seems the Reagan administration
wants to study the issue more.)  But several countries have laws which
are rated as 'cosmetic, possibly dangerous'.  
  The Boycott isn't over yet.  Nestle's wouldn't be interviewed by NI, but
written responses to some written questions.  You should read them for
yourselves.
