Correction: Mistaken identity
The column that appeared in this space last week, “Death, violence and too many guns,” was not written by John Beckman, as indicated. Beckman, a Cullowhee resident who has written many columns for SMN over the years, forwarded the column to SMN from a blog he follows. We assumed he had written in, and it was timely, so we published it. Our apologies to the original author and to Beckman, who says it has felt good this week to have received many complimentary emails from those who have mistaken him for a gifted writer who does very good research.
