‘BCG, the anti- - tuberculosis vaccine, has been used asa. prophylactic against the disease | for at least a decade.

Matters have been made still worse by the Aswan dam, which Ls retains in Egypt soil which once ‘washed away into the Med- ; iterranean, nourishing thefish’- its richness. This’ leaves

he edible creatures on an aus- }terity diet and makes the, lizard = fish even more predatory.

Nature, at her very best, is an

unmanageable hussy. If you | spray her face with DDT to kill the mosquitoes, birds and fish are likely to die with the bugs. If you affront nature by building a house on a flood plain, the riv- er comes calling in the parlor. If you poison ground eels to save the wheat, coyotes eat | the squirrels and die of second- ary: poisoning. Then the deer multiply and .gorge themselves on—wheat. With nature, wins.
