certainly the determination of father brooks. certainly his leadership has meant an awful lot not only to those talked about in the book but many of us here in the room. i can't help but tell this one little vignette when father brooks was here. a young woman asked, father what was the jesuit residence when a college when the vote was taken to go co-ed? he paused very very briefly and without hesitation replied, we thought we had all died and gone to heaven. [laughter] so he has meant an awful lot to an awful lot of people and just as recently as yesterday there was an op ed in the "boston globe," great piece particularly about father brooks. i would certainly like to thank the harvard club for everything that they did today, mike shanahan, my assistant against the wall. appreciate everything you do very much. kristin and christine moloney thank you very much for coming from the college and being so helpful and c-span for everything you have done so well. and finally books will be available for purchase and diane is here to sign

the dealings and the emotions he had about father brooks.i am not sure who is at his presentation last week when you contrast what he has said about his experiences at yale, there is a profound difference. one of the differences was the way he felt treated by father brooks. i basically just set out to an article. i decided that it was in fact grounds or a book. this being my first project, i went on all sorts of directions that ultimately didn't work. one of which was lots of history of the jesuits, the publishers that no, not that. a lot of the history, which took me a while to pronounce, like everyone else not from the area, ultimately, it came down to the story of these five men and father brooks. one thing it meant was i also -- a lot of the people i talk to, had to diminish their roles in the book and i had to take names out because, again, my editor said, you know what? i'm getting confused. in track of all these people, focusing on these men and the fraternity and use that as a microcosm for what they experience at holy cross and what

>> i don't agree with that, brooke. think the president, you know, after this tragedy, when we, you know, lost our ambassador and three other people of our families, did not make this a political season like governor romney did. governor romney has made a score of mistakes in his foreign policy. i think he wants to hearken back to the playbook during the bush years of everything can be solved by intervention of our military. and that's not the course of action. it's strength of our military, and our special operations, as the president has shown with the drone program, des nation of al qaeda, getting bin laden. it's also putting more troops into afghanistan when need be, as the president's done. and then set a firm timetable for them to come home. the bush administration, and all due prespecific to the ambassador, who was quoted in "the post" today, they have one playbook. they have one page in the playbook. and that is let's send our young men and women into war to solve the problem. in iran, syria, libya, that's alway

and ultimately, it came down to the story of these five men and father brooks. unfortunately, a lot of the people i talked to, i had to diminish their roles in the book. i had to take names out because, again, my editor said, you know what? i'm getting confused keeping track of all these people. focus on these men, focus on the fraternity they formed and use that as a sort of microcosm for what they experienceed at holy cross and what was being experienced, you know, across the country at that time. i think that, um, there were a couple of things that i tried to be careful not to do. one was heighten the drama too much with fake love interests and dialogue. but, no, i think the main thing that was important to me that holy cross was both special and unique, but it was a microcosm of what was happening in the country at that time. um, i am not american, i actually grew up in scotland. i am half catholic, but brady's a very handy name to have when you're reporting at holy cross.
