Cytoplasmic incompatibility can be widely used to control mosquitoes, Laven says, but he cautions that total eradication of mosquito populations might have unpredictable ecological effects. To fill the gap that his control technique may create, he is attempting to produce a mosquito strain that will not transmit filariasis-and hopes eventually to develop a breed that simply will not bite humans...
...course, got stuck in sand and never got out; another lost its rear hood, had to pit for repairs and dropped far behind. Then there was Mario Andretti. Running second in the No. 3 Mark IV, Andretti barreled into a turn at 150 m.p.h., only to lose control of the car when his right front brake grabbed. The Mark IV caromed off one wall, then another, bounced back and finally spun to a stop in mid-track - directly in the path of two other Fords, Mark II-model backup cars driven by Roger McCluskey and Jo Schlesser.

Undaunted by all that, American Can is trying again. Last February the $1.4 billion-a-year U.S. company shelled out $3.3 million to buy 60% control of Liverpool-based Reads Ltd., Metal Box's only real competitor. Holding onto a 40% interest is the hoary textile-making firm of Courtaulds Ltd., which was soundly trounced by Metal Box after acquiring Reads in 1959. Under Courtaulds, Reads has turned profits on such lines as steel drums and paint cans, but lost heavily on food and beverage tins. With the arrival of American Can, the company is embarking on a fiveyear...
