Four men dead, a car smashed, all because a tiny insect was buzzing around. A tiny insect which caused panic, destruction and death. Under the right circumstances, one man can shake a government.' " 'You want me to be that kind of wasp? ' asked Mowry. 'All right, I volunteer.' " 'We knew you would,' said the Secret Service man. " It was an unorthodox way to fight a war, especially an interplanetary war. But sometimes war can be more effectively fought that way.
