In doing so, he revived a practice not observed since Edward Wigglesworth—the first to hold the Hollis professorship in 1722—and his son, who succeeded him, first brought their livestock out to graze. Cox retired this past June after 44 years at the Harvard Divinity School, where his position was the oldest endowed chair in the country, and where he established a reputation as one of the foremost theologians of his time. His first major book, “The Secular...

Resistance "is the result of human use and not related to veterinary use," according to Kristina Butts, the manager of legislative affairs for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. But with wonder drugs losing their effectiveness, it makes sense to preserve them for as long as we can, and that means limiting them to human use as much as possible.
