Finally, we are fully in agreement with Prof. Alan Dershowitz's request to President Derek Bok and Harvard Law School officials that they immediately condemn and censure Muhammad Kenyatta and BALSA for their violation of the rules of fairness and free speech in our community.

At a gathering outside of his normal academic responsibilities John Womack surely has a right to criticise President...
...this symposium was also very interesting and encouraging, and above all a reminder that there are still in Israel people who hold the right direction and would exercise it when the time comes. The meeting with some of them here at Harvard was for me, to put it in Prof. Khalidi's words, "a breath of fresh air" and a good hope for a better future...
