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.

...PICKING Getting rid of lice from your kids' hair may be more difficult than ever. 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...
