Description

Assesses the status of DDT today and explains how it has become a symbol of both man's genius and his mindlessness, how it has become a dangerous pollutant, and how it has affected both wildlife and the environment in general. Raises the question of what lessons we can draw from our experience with DDT that will help avert future ecological disasters.
