My humble hometown makes the national wire: Professor Accused of Stealing Manure.
“ROCKPORT, Mass. (AP) — A Harvard economics professor has been accused of neglecting the standard market practice of paying for goods and services by trying to steal a truckload of manure from a horse farmer.“Stable manager Phillip Casey says Martin Weitzman, Harvard University’s Ernest E. Monrad Professor of Economics, has been stealing manure from Charlie Lane’s Rockport farm for years.”

You’d think the professor would generate enough of his own manure to not have to steal someone else’s.
