If that's the case, then why was the boycott extended to include American
Home Products? I'm just puzzled as to why two of the big formula
manufacturers were boycotted, but not the other two. I'm trying to get a
conclusive answer that Nestle and AHP did or did not do something
differently than the other two corporations that caused the others to not be
included.

If my memory serves we well, the reason for selecting Nestle is that is it
the largest formula producer in the world.  It is not a phamaceutical
company and sells many products, such as instant coffee - which is easy for
people to boycott and thus make an impact on the company's profits.
