<<The  problem is that they insist on retaining the copyright to my work.
This makes  me nervous, as we all know what can happen when even the
most trusted  companies are bought and sold.  In addition, of course, I
understand  that the IBCLE requires me to retain complete control.
I am looking for ways  to satisfy both the IBCLE and the newspaper>>

Norma, I'm not sure I understand what  you mean about IBLCE requiring you to 
retain complete control.  No one who  writes for publication retains complete 
control -- the copyright always belongs  to the publisher, be it Jones & 
Bartlett, Mosby, Doubleday, or Pocket  Books.  The IBLCE cannot require this of 
anyone.  So from that  perspective you are free to write your column for the 
newspaper.  You may  be able to state in your contract with them that they will 
not have your column  juxtaposed by advertisements for anything that violates 
the WHO Code, and/or  they will not sell your pieces to a formula company for 
use in their own  publications -- as we know has happened on more than one 
occasion.
