BELLESILES UPDATE: I said a while back that the “public health” folks who are studying violence instead of anthrax should either change their focus or start doing something productive, like tending bar.

Lo and behold, a reader sends me this article from the 1997 Emory Wheel that informs us that Michael Bellesiles, founder of Emory’s Violence Studies program, used to tend bar.

Okay, that’s not exactly the same as having some CDC folks move from studying whether guns are related to shootings to learning how to tap a keg, but it’s close.
