My grandfather gets a grant

Okay, no, it's not my grandfather. But the name "Nathan Kline" does strike me as particularly Jewish-oldster. The Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research has just been awarded a million-ish dollar grant to study schizophrenia and violence. Should be interesting.

Comments

I thought Kline spelled like that (as opposed to Klein) was a non-Jewish way of spelling it. Or, put more succinctly, in high school I knew a Charles Tomlinson Kline IV. really.
