OKAY, ONE MORE: Jules Witcover writes about receiving critical mail from gun-rights supporters. He should talk.

Several years ago, in response to one of his columns on the Second Amendment, I sent Witcover a couple of law review articles with an innocuous cover letter. I got back a rather nasty handwritten note saying no thanks for my “gratuitous” offering of information, and suggesting that only gun nuts believed that stuff.

I don’t think that it was my cover letter — I sent the same one to Herb Mitgang and got a very nice response, from which we discovered that he had double-dated with my secretary back in the 1940s. Witcover must have had a bad day.

On another gun-related news item, Melissa Seckora is reporting in The Corner that Michael Bellesiles’ Bancroft Prize may be revoked.
