Formula for Disaster: Politics May Be the Mother’s Milk of UNICEF

(December 8, 2000)

Excerpt from Wall Street Journal article

Makers of infant formula have long known that no good deed goes unpunished. Offers to donate millions of dollars worth of nutritious baby formula are regarded as "suspicious" by United Nations Children's Fund officials. In fact, UNICEF has been waging a feud against the industry since the 1970's. Now that dispute may be inadvertently killing millions of children, according to an investigative report by Wall Street Journal reporters Alix M. Freedman and Steve Stecklow, dated 6 December 2000.
