While urban beekeeping is buzzing in Europe and the U.S.--San Francisco is full of busy bees, and Chicago's green-roof program provides ideal space for hives--it is illegal in Manhattan, where honeybees fall under an ordinance that forbids keeping animals that are "wild, ferocious, fierce, dangerous or naturally inclined to do harm." The solution, it seems, is to put hives up high, where they will be undetected and give the bees easy access to rooftop gardens.

Dershowitz argued, Matory “is misusing freedom of speech and academic freedom to make an ideological argument.” Matory disingenuously couched his unpopular claim within a meaningless statement in favor of an ideal that virtually all faculty members would support. This is not the way that dialogue on this, or any other issue, should proceed at Harvard. Instead of dressing his argument up in the guise of free speech, Matory and others who agree with him would best be served by making their arguments directly...
