Quotable Quotes:

"At Princeton, I fell in love with history, American history. I didn't know what my path would be, but it had to involve reading and writing history."

''For a lot of people, high school was the apex of their lives. It was when everything worked. There was an innocence about it, a sense of community. So anytime you get back into that realm, it's fine.'' ''Remember the Titans'' strike a nerve simply because ''a lot of guys played high school football, and before that, Pop Warner football.'' ''You're talking about millions of guys. It's a bonding experience like you can't believe, and for a lot of men it was the last time they were important or heroic. It touches a nerve of a time when I was last innocent.''
