The author offers opinions on a dispute between attorney Alan Dershowitz and DePaul University professor Norman Finkelstein. The roots of the dispute are reported as differing views over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Dershowitz's intervention in DePaul's tenure vote on Finkelstein is denounced. University of Chicago history professor Peter Novick, though opposed to Finkelstein's views, is quoted as recommending DePaul grant him tenure.
