On the other hand, in response to my post yesterday a UT entomologist and InstaPundit reader emails: “Few, if any, of my entomological colleagues advocate the return of DDT for controlling mosquitoes. There are a variety of other insecticides that are quite able to fill the bill ( without the hysteria associated with any mention of DDT).”

Meanwhile, another reader sends this on DDT.

WE WILL PRINT NO NEWS before its time.

INDEED: “Old and busted: Confronting your ideological opponents at their office. The new hotness: Freaking them out at home.” Another line crossed, another precedent set. Have joy of it, folks.
