he and edward jones were closed through gil hardy. part of that process in recent years is he connected with the college and i am hopeful this book is part of that but it shows a more nuanced side of clarence thomas and he understands and appreciates holy cross at this point in his life more deeply than he might have several years ago. the other men were generally cooperative. edward jones is not a wild extrovert and is a brilliant writer so writing about someone who won a pulitzer prize for literature is intimidating to say the least but very deep memories and in many ways many of the issues he fought for continue unabated today. ted wells is a lawyer through and through. there's a difference between writing an article and writing a book. there was some discussion with him and when i suggested the idea of a book all of a sudden the book -- you start getting into girlfriends and relationships and problems with mother and everything else which he didn't have. he wanted to make sure it is accurate. and everything was accurate. one thing
