Senator Barbara Boxer is my environmental hero. There are many deserving champions of the environment but Senator Boxer has consistently pushed forward the ideas of others in a political environment that champions nothing for the future only for short-term greed.

Mr. DEE DEE TEE: Perhaps you are unaware that by the time DDT was banned, it was not very effective any more as the mosquitos carrying the malaria parasite had become resistant. This resistance may have faded but some tests suggest that using DDT again will quickly redevelop the resistance factor. Dr. J. Singmaster
