Scientists are also using other techniques. In California, larvae-eating minnows are regularly placed in mosquito-breeding ponds. In New Orleans, U.S. Agriculture Department researchers along with local experts have been releasing a large nonbiting mosquito nicknamed Big Tox (after its scientific name, Toxorhynchites ambionensis), whose larvae dine on the larvae of smaller biting mosquitoes. Scientists have also had success with bacterial warfare: applying a larvae-killing toxin from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (which was discovered in Israel). But BTI is expensive, must be applied directly to a breeding site, and could encourage proliferation of BTi-resistant mosquitoes...

Says Nalebuff: "I think there's less pretense here than any place I've been. Nobody's competing with anyone else. You don't have to prove yourself." The exchanges can be irreverent. When M.I.T. Economist and Senior Fellow Robert Solow, 58, advises Theoretical Physicist Paul Ginsparg, 27, that he will soon be "over the hill" for his profession, the junior fellow retorts, "Then I can become an economist...
