...knows how much of the fish plucked from U.S. lakes daily by commercial and sport fishermen is contaminated. A classic example is Clear Lake, Calif., where DDT (at the minuscule proportion of two one-hundredths of a part per million parts of water) was used to kill off a troublesome, lake-hatching insect. As a result, plankton accumulated DDT residues at five parts per million; fatty tissue of fish feeding on lake-bottom life was found to contain several hundred to 2,000 parts of DDT per million; grebes and other diving birds died from eating the fish...

Although most of the twelve had shown a positive result in the paraffin tests, Crockett held only two, one charged with possession of a tear-gas device, the other with assault with intent to kill. Neither was charged with shooting the two officers. There was also another aspect of the case. Crockett had told Cahalan to appear personally in court, and Cahalan had not. "It is my considered opinion," said the judge, "that the prosecutor is in contempt of court. An affront to the court...
