...Louis, Mo., multinational demanded last year that Maine suspend its official Quality seal, which is granted only to milk from uninjected cows. When the state refused, Monsanto took another tack, suing one of Maine's leading dairies in federal court in Boston. The suit charged that Oakhurst Dairy, the company that buys Nutting's milk, is misleading consumers by advertising a no-artificial-hormone pledge, implying that its milk is safer and healthier.

NYU Law School and several other schools and faculties have formed the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights (FAIR), which has filed suit in federal court to challenge the Solomon Amendment. The suit raises substantial constitutional and statutory issues, and has already survived a motion to dismiss. Harvard has been warmly invited to join FAIR.
