BELLESILES UPDATE: The New York Times has finally run a story on Bellesiles’ resignation in disgrace — but it’s just the AP story from yesterday. Given all the attention that the Times gave Bellesiles’ book when it came out (and even the big story it ran early on attacking Bellesiles’ critics) it’s rather surprising that it’s giving this denouement so little attention.

Or maybe it’s not so surprising, after all.

UPDATE: When I blogged the above I was working from memory. The Times story in question is pretty pro-Bellesiles and paints his critics in a fairly negative light, but “attacking Bellesiles’ critics” probably gives an overly harsh view of the story. Unfortunately, I don’t have a web link for it.
