I didnt do a good job of reading it. The 41st president to the 43rd president. The handwritten note touched my heart. You are doing the right thing. Yet it with strength and compassion. It is right to worry about the loss of innocent life. Iraqi or mac you have done that which you had to do. He face the toughest bunch of problems any president since lincoln is based. You carry the burden with strength and grace. Remember robbins words. I love you more than tongue can tell. Well, i do. Devotedly dad. How one senator to find the president on brownsville a shooting in brownsville in august. The Buffalo Soldiers stationed at nearby for brown. They asked him to remove the troops. Thought there were guilty. Felt they would not be convicted. Was roosevelt wrong . Most people think it was wrong. Few people thought he was wrong. One minute it was senator joseph order from ohio.

Pharmaceuticals, how the world did you get into College Sports . Guest i have had an eclectic career havent i . So i got into College Sports in a few ways. Like you, although not nearly at your level, i played sports in high school and college. I actually had a d1 athletic scholarship that mysteriously became an academic scholarship after i injured my back. I was so i always had an interest in sports. About 15 years ago i did a project with the inquire where i get to look at the business of College Sports. I guess that planted a seed in the back of my brain that at some point i like to come back and just look at the influence of College Football. Even then it would already have an extra ordinary impact on the university. Then what happened was it continue to grow in the money continue to grow dramatically. The scale of the sport continue to grow. So long story short, i propose doing a project at the washington post. They did not want to do it. I proposed it as a book seven years ago. M
That kind of political gamesmanship. Reading his diaries, but was his attitude during my presidency . Was it worried, concerned . There were no diaries. This is just interviews. On january 201993. When did you start interviewing . 2,006. Really . Of course he was worried about you and mrs. Bush hundred dollars. You know the stories. He wants to much news, read the New York Times. I agree. There is another difference. I didnt. It honestly was. He worried a lot, of course. One of the fascinating questions which i ask you a length and should parenthetically say insofar as this book is true as i hope it is my great deal of that, i owe a debt to president bush 43 for giving me an immense amount of his time and insight and wisdom. He sat there for longer than he wanted to. Wait a minute. Do you know why . My knew john would be fair. I was a little concerned when he approached me about the book. A little skeptical. I was able to read his intentions. I want to ask you something. We are out of
Him. Im not a lot of smart people to my work with people all the time,time, i have never known anyone who could hold a candle to him. Hearing his voice brought back, brought him back to life in a way that moved me deeply. And you can write and read all the books that you want about this guy, but you can never really bring them to life in the way that im talking about. I have been close to him, to have learned from him, as my patterns of speech formed by him command the great gift that i value. And we have been talking with adam bellow, a division of harpercollins.
