Given the summer off from tutoring duties, Orecklin, Ratnesar and Stein were sent packing. The three left TIME's New York City office for two weeks to report our cover story: the remarkable business revolution under way in California, where a second wave of entrepreneurs is colonizing Silicon Valley. Why there? Because no place on earth is better equipped to set new businesses into motion than the Valley.

A report that looked at two cities, Boston and Boise, Idaho, shows that the pesky six-legged parasites are increasingly resistant to permethrin, the active ingredient in Nix, a popular over-the-counter remedy. What to do? Doctors suggest that you try commercial preparations; if these fail, ask your physician for a prescription pesticide. Or forget pesticides altogether, and try products with "delipidizing agents," which are found in health-food stores...
